FUNDING EXTREMISM
Billionaire, evangelical GOP megadonors like Tim Dunn, Farris Wilks, and Dan Wilks have channeled tens of millions of dollars into far-right campaigns — quietly pulling Texas further and further to the extreme right.
LEGISLATING HATE
Far-right extremists use their religious views as a tool to discriminate against and attack LGBTQIA+ Texans, restrict access to abortion and other essential reproductive healthcare, and target other communities.
TARGETING STUDENTS
The religious right continually imposes a narrow-minded belief system in our classrooms, most recently by sneaking Bible stories into curricula, allowing religious chaplains in schools, and censoring books and lessons.
