Episode 45: Progressives at The Texas Democratic Party Convention in Dallas

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

We are a show about local politics that aims to get more people engaged in local issues. My name is Anthony Sosa. I’m here today with Thomas Moore to discuss the Texas Democratic Party convention in Dallas, TX this past weekend and to highlight many of the progressive candidates that will be on the ballot in November and the issues they pushed: Legalization of Cannabis, workers rights and protections and the ability to unionize, expanding access to healthcare and abortion rights, investment in rural communities, investment in improving our grid, divestment of fossil fuels and policing the border etc.

All of the resources used will be provided below in the show notes.

This podcast is made possible by The Justice Reform League, a Fort Worth based non-profit.
