Stonewall Democrats of Austin - January 2021 Meeting
Join us for our first meeting of 2021. We'll learn more about Austinites for Progressive Reform, and hear about the initial LGBTQI+ bills files at the Texas Legislature. ----------- Austinites for Progressive Reform is a campaign to amend the city charter to make Austin the most pro-democracy city in the country. The campaign has proposed four charter amendments that will lead to a more representative, diverse, responsive, and accountable city government: - Elect the mayor in presidential years, not midterms; - Move to ranked-choice voting, to eliminate low-turnout runoffs; - Adopt a mayor-council form of government, instead of our "strong manager" system; and - Create a “Democracy Dollars” public campaign financing program. More information is available at austinprogress.org. This May, Austin will have the opportunity to vote on these reforms. In this meeting, members of the Austinites for Progressive Reform team will present on these reforms and take questions from the group.
