What: Save Texas Families Rally and Protest

When: Friday, April 22nd –

12:00 pm Gather and make posters,
12:30 pm Rally begins,
2:30 pm Rally ends.

Where: In front of the Capitol Gates, 11th and Congress Ave.

Why: StandOut has organized this Protest and Rally in reaction to SB 6 which seeks to reform the Texas Child Protective Services Agency. Rep. RobertTalton's amendment to this bill would do, among other things:

• Prevent Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual people from fostering children in the state of Texas
• Take the foster children away from all 2,000 Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual people already fostering children
• Remove these children from loving, stable families and place them back into the already overburdened Foster Care system
• Emotionally destroy these Texas families
• Allows the new CPS Agency to conduct "investigations" into suspect fosterparents not already officially identified as Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual
• Will cost the state of Texas an additional $8 million dollars every yearWe will not tolerate this kind of discrimination.
  
  We will stand together.We will fight. We will make ourselves heard.
  
  Holly and the babies will be there.
  
  or call your Texas Representative and Senator and demand that they help!
