Introducing another That’s the Tea Level sponsor ☕️✨:

Thank you, ACLU TX for your donation and for all you do to fight to protect our communities. 👊🏼👊🏾👊🏿

The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas is a leading civil rights organization in the Lone Star State. The ACLU of Texas works with communities, at the State Capitol, and in the courts to protect and advance civil rights and civil liberties for every Texan, no exceptions. From Amarillo to Brownsville and Beaumont to El Paso, we believe in a Texas that works for all of us — a Texas where each person has an equal say in the decisions that shape our future and where everyone can build a good life.

Texas has the 2nd largest LGBTQIA+ population in the US and a vast majority of Texans agree that our community deserves equal protection. Yet, lawmakers have filed 120+ bills in TX targeting trans folk since 2025. But, we have seen that there is strength in numbers. We see it in our run club and all across the state. The ACLU has created toolkits and guides to help our community engage in advocacy. Check out their website and socials to engage in advocacy work that creates meaningful change in our communities 🤠🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Let’s all give a round of applause to STRJ for being the first Full Beat sponsor 👏 ⚧️⚕️💊

South Texans for Reproductive Justice (STRJ) is a BIPOC, q***r-led, volunteer-run organization that came together in 2013 as Texas abortion clinics faced targeted political attacks. We officially launched in 2014 and received our 501(c)3 non-profit status in 2019. STRJ is based in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) on the Texas-Mexico border. We currently serve 32 counties in South Texas.

STRJ founded the clinic es**rt program at the now-closed abortion clinic in McAllen through some of the most aggressive anti-abortion protests in the state. They held large rallies to counter the annual March for Life held in the RGV. Today, STRJ continues to advocate for reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and access to reproductive healthcare in the Rio Grande Valley.

Reproductive justice and q***r and trans rights are intertwined. Aside from all the great work STRJ does with their team and in collaboration with other local orgs, they also co-host pride y páginas book club with STEP 📖 and have recently hosted a Pride packing party 🎉 go give them a follow ✨ #956
