right Senate bill four which is one of the top priorities in this governor and lieutenant governor with has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with trying to impose that kind of fear on our immigrant communities every single day in Texas so we could feel like me felt of those raise every single day but we're not gonna let them re We're not gonna take it lying down are we know

the attacks against abortion access that tax against the environment Union the right to vote and our public education that things we holds true in dear as texans and as Americans their local elected officials and the community groups that actually know what's going on in our cities across this country stand against the bigotry of people like Dan Patrick donald trump brag about it and what today we're That delivers strong message that they are the losing side of history To bring up her first Speaker austins champion in the state Senate my friend senator kirk watson Welcome to yoga with a convincing Austin Texas this is a nice cool day right you know the truth of the matter is its 200 day have a filibuster by state Center for the night so you're not gonna get that but the but we have to do is we have to make sure we are keeping the heat on against this hateful legislation It's already been suggest that as I've said before this isn't about public safety if it work if it were about public safety we been listening to the professional public safety leaders who tell this tell us this won't make Texas any safer in st. stand they tell us will be less safe I will not reject the implies of public safety professionals for the agenda of politician right And my friends current Wall doesn't prove that the decisions positions and actions that are so casually condemned in this building by self righteously and incorrectly invoke in one thing cold the rule of law I will not though I will not work on behalf of I will instead fight any distortion and degradation of the law and the constitution that some of the people in this building are setting aside even though they swore to uphold it to What Now book that know me and to my new friends that are standing with us here today I love our state but Texas has a said simple stain legacy of mistreating people who don't look like me whoa oh right yeah Senate bill for rights another ugly chapter in that history and that is why I am so please to see all of you here because we We must not with land we not continue to push back on this hateful hateful legislation God bless all of your Call up okay aggressive champion and a Progressive beacon of an elected official melissa market ready don't Speaker of the New York city Council Where does that is Austin I stand here as a proud Puerto rican and as a proud latina yeah as a proud member of the resistance war and I was the Speaker of the New York city Council that also stands with Austin and when every other person here in Texas every other city and every other person that is pushing back against this inhumane policies that's the right job We're here at the local practice conference we have representatives from a process this country we felt compelled to be here today to say buster jump we will push back against these policies that are ripping families apart best seek to dehumanize us that seek to look at at us as others and as a senator what rightly said right Those that don't look like certain people I gonna be targeted that is what this administration not only in this state but in this country is doing and it is deplorable he know that's before where I'm done with the lead to racial profiling and discrimination perpetuated by our local police the very people we have trusted to protect communities sadly many officers will feel compelled and forced to engage in these shameful practices I have fear of the large find This imposed by as before and the potential of losing their jobs as before is a Green light for law enforcement and elected officials so Strip of those perceived as others of their constitutional right this president's indiscriminate or in a train to shop approach to immigration enforcement and racist races call it by number is Giving rise to lies that I love dangerous vigilante style immigration enforcement by States and local law enforcement we have see increase in raise not only here at Texas we're seeing it in New York city we're seeing it in cities across this country that believe in inclusion right understand and embrace that diversity is the best that we have to offer 30 And that's the best majority despite the rhetoric they seeking to distract the vast majority are lot of biting citizens that are providing for this country for the cities that we represent and for their families and what we're doing is inhumane by ripping go apart it is a disgusting time in this country that we are living and that is why we need to band together there are cities here represented that are doing incredible work and we should be celebrating you I understand that this democracy is all about and replicated and push back that is why for me it was important to be here today we are see immigration agents ages in our courts and our human trafficking courts and are as domestic violence survivors are seeking help like right here in Texas when a domestic violence survivor was trying to seek protection I was arrested following following into human trafficking courts as I was happening in New York we also Know that we are seeing the Department of homeland security inspector general issued a report that found that the partition agents receive insufficient training and then there's a lack of oversight of the use of force this is scary it is clear there's no intention to make our country safer so now more than ever lifted officials advocates and allies must fight back against immigration enforcement policies that separate families and trample on the rights I recommend brothers Fresh Restrictions that support and the great communities must stand in solidarity with cities facing pressure to adopt us crematory and legally questionable policies we must stand taco on the light and stand up and speak up for those who are afraid and unfortunately in the shadows we to stand up for them because it is about saving this democracy as well whoa come on that's no I don't wanna come to prefer to mom by you know it's You watch the President unravel our democracy on a daily basis and will the insanity that is happening and coming out of this White House and the Congress they're not in you that's right the importance of organizations like local progress that is here today brings elected officials together for change that important is being because it's become clear and clear so it is crucial that cities across this country stand together and we must stand strong and firm in our resolve to try I challenge any abuse of power by the President or steak for local officials The state of mind right price we cannot abandon our immigrant communities and dining out of that I keep it I said damn boy yeah see about that guy that I need and then this in bed I want to see me you got this and if that's the only only at that is sealed you know say he's the endo visit the end up will looking get like something or by line thanks em for that but I don't think that I see all Not let us before in
