Julián Castro 2020

We’re getting a sneak preview of what could happen on a broader scale next November if we don’t begin to take these assaults on our democracy more seriously.

As a native Texan, I know that my home state has rarely been a bastion of voting rights for people of color. But these proposed new congressional districts take the cake.

This is huge: last night, the President said he’s open to eliminating the filibuster. We have to act now.

My podcast Our America with Julián Castro just launched its second season, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday.

It’s time to end the filibuster. Add your name if you agree.

Policy debates in Washington can be abstract. But as mayor of San Antonio, I got to see firsthand the impact of one of the Build Back Better plan’s signature policies: pre-k.

A new poll released today shows nearly TWO-THIRDS of voters in San Antonio disapprove of Greg Abbott. This poll comes after another poll released earlier this month showed Abbott with the lowest approval since taking office.

We’re gearing up for what is certainly a busy end of September. While Democrats on Capitol Hill work day and night to finalize and pass the infrastructure bill and the Build Back Better package

It’s time the corporations and wealthiest among us pay their fair share — and that’s what the Build Back Better agenda sets out to do. If we want to invest in our communities, in our children, and in our future, we can’t afford to let this moment pass us by without acting.

Title 42 is the signature achievement of Stephen Miller, and using it to deny Haitians — who are fleeing a devestating earthquake, hurricane, and presidential assassination all at once — is wrong.

What’s happening at the border is wrong, and the images we’ve seen of Haitians being treated like animals by officers on horseback are appalling and demand an investigation.

Today is a very special one, for two specific reasons — it’s Julián and Joaquin’s birthday!

Yesterday, Senate Democrats released a new compromise bill on voting rights, following the House passage of the For The People Act.

As a lifelong Texan, I’ve spent decades fighting for equal rights and justice in our state. Julián and Joaquin spent many days by my side as kids as I organized, marched, and protested for voting rights, equal pay, and reproductive freedom in Texas.

Texas is in crisis as the Republican abortion bill has gone into effect, undermining 50 years of precedent under Roe v. Wade.

Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a new voter suppression bill — a bill designed to suppress the vote to keep Republicans like him in office.

Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans are trying to take our state back to the dark ages. They’re pushing some of the most dangerous policies our state has ever seen.

This law bans abortions after six weeks, before most patients even know they’re pregnant. It also allows individual citizens to SUE Texans who receive abortion care -- creating a bounty system where someone can collect $10,000 for reporting abortions.

We’ve made the types of investments in America’s future that will yield a positive impact, despite everything Republican lawmakers -- like Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz -- have done to derail their efforts.

Today the Texas legislature will vote on SB1, their extreme voter suppression bill.

The situation in Texas is becoming more and more alarming each day.

We need leaders in Texas who care more about the children of our state than trying to win their primary fights.

Schools shouldn’t be forced to use precious resources to pay steep fines.
