BREAKING: We and partners are suing to block Senate Bill 12 — an unconstitutional ban on programs and activities that mention race, gender identity, or sexual orientation in Texas public schools. Every student should feel safe, supported, and given the best opportunity to thrive

NEW: We and our partners sent a letter warning Texas superintendents not to implement S.B. 10, after a federal court ruled it “plainly unconstitutional” to display the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. aclutx.org/sb10letter

BREAKING: Without public input and before providing flood relief, the Texas House passed new congressional maps that further disenfranchise voters of color. This is an affront to our right to vote. Texans should pick our politicians — not the other way around.

We'll keep working toward permanently blocking this unconstitutional law. Learn more: aclutx.org/en/press-relea…

BREAKING: A federal court has preliminarily blocked the Texas public school districts in our lawsuit from displaying the Ten Commandments in every classroom. 📢 This win for religious freedom reaffirms what we already know: Public schools are for educating, not evangelizing.

There are ways to help our neighbors navigating this catastrophic natural disaster. Check out suggestions from Austin public radio ⬇️ kut.org/energy-environ…

Our hearts are heavy: The Texas Hill Country flooding has led to the tragic loss of at least 90 lives with others still missing. Texans will continue to show up for one another as we rebuild our homes, communities, and lives.

NEW: The Fifth Circuit upheld a block on Texas’ extreme anti-immigrant law, S.B. 4 — a cruel attempt to override the federal government’s authority over immigration enforcement. S.B. 4 is unconstitutional. Immigrants belong here.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Trump’s latest attempt to completely shut down asylum at the border. The court rejected the administration’s attempt to justify mass deportations and reaffirmed that the right to seek asylum is protected by U.S. law.

@ACLU @americansunited @FFRF Press release: aclutx.org/en/press-relea…

We’re bringing this lawsuit to ensure that all students — regardless of their faith or nonreligious beliefs — feel accepted and free to be themselves in Texas public schools. We’re joined by the @ACLU, @americansunited, @FFRF, with Simpson Thacher Bartlett LLP.

BREAKING: We and partners are suing on behalf of 16 Texas families of different religious and nonreligious backgrounds to block a new state law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.

BREAKING: We and partners are intervening in federal court to defend in-state tuition for undocumented students. The Trump administration and state officials are trying to cancel the law — punishing hardworking Texans and threatening our state’s workforce, economy, and future.

BREAKING: We and SEAT intend to sue over Texas’ DEI ban, S.B. 12 — one of the most extreme attacks on public education in the country. Our schools should prepare students of every race, gender, and background to succeed.
