hey you...yeah you! you should become a poll worker! head to powerthepolls.com to learn how you can become a poll worker this November! @PowerThePolls @CampusVote @fairerelections

A national shortage of US poll workers could lead to mass closures of voting locations in November, hitting Black and brown voters the hardest. To stop a looming crisis, @MTV @fairerelections & @ComedyCentral are launching a campaign to find 250,000 young poll workers in 100 days

This week we’re saying goodbye to a remarkable intern class. The work they did for @WHCEQ this summer was invaluable. Thank you, CEQ 2022 summer interns, for sharing your enthusiasm, passion, and hope for a more equitable and sustainable future.

A historic moment. Tonight marks the first time in United States history that two women are presiding over a #JointSession of Congress. @VP @SpeakerPelosi

It's so exciting to see so many campuses I worked with through @CampusVote Project in 2019 & 2020 become Voter Friendly Campuses! So proud of all the students, faculty, and administrators who worked so hard to help students vote, especially during a pandemic. #StudentVote

HEY YALL! We are now a 🎉✨VOTER FRIENDLY CAMPUS!!✨🎉 Thank you to our staff, students, and San Marcos community for helping us reduce the barriers to student voting! We will continue our work in promoting civic engagement on Texas State’s campus! @txst

During early voting last year, @MOVE_texas & @HarrisVotes held a drive-in concert with @BunBTrillOG & @TheSuffers to celebrate 24-hour voting at @nrgpark. This disgusting bill (HB2293) would make that illegal. Donate & fight back now: movetexas.org/donate/

Texas Republicans just filed a bill to make it illegal to vote at night. This is in direct response to efforts by @HarrisVotes to make sure that ALL Texans, including first responders, medical professionals, and shift workers, can vote at a time convenient for them. #txlege

We are missing the point in a colossal way if Texas responds to more frequent & more extreme weather by moving away from renewables & increasing high emissions fossil fuels. It’s like putting out a fire with gasoline. #txlege


The independent @ERCOT_ISO board members are elected by the other board members who are market representatives...that seems to go against the point of having independent board members. #txlege #TexasBlackout #AbbottBlackout

Hey #energytwitter, if you want to tune in to the Senate and House hearings on the #TexasBlackout, links are in next tweet. I'll tweet on it throughout the day on this thread. Please tweet using #txlege and #txenergy, esp. if you have relevent info that could help going forward

We should be able to restore some customers this afternoon due to additional wind & solar output, & additional thermal generation that has told us they expect to become available. But, the amount we restore will depend on how much generation is actually able to come online.
