Organizing the Left in Texas.
Welcome to Socialists of Texas!
Due to interest that has been observed on subreddits like /r/Socialism, this subreddit was created to help organize the left in Texas. In order to enact real change, the left must be organized and strong. There are organizations you can get involved with and demonstrations you can participate in to help foster the growth of a larger, stronger, more organized left in Texas.
GENERAL RULES
NO
Site-wide rules also apply.
**Debate and criticism of one another is acceptable. Dismissing one another over tendencies is not. Solidarity.
REACTIONARIES WILL BE BANNED ON SIGHT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. THIS IS YOUR WARNING. Mods reserve the right to ban on a case-by-case basis if your posts or comments are even if they are not in a direct violation of the rules. Bans can be appealed by messaging the mods. Note that you must have good reason for your appeal or it will be ignored (eg. New to socialism and unintentionally misunderstood something).
POSTING RULES
Once again, mods reserve the right to remove posts and/or ban on a case-by-case basis.
Get involved!

Quiet sub so doesn't matter much but will do my part to help keep the API open. Let me know any thoughts or questions you might have.
As a teacher, what organizations should I get involved with?
What is the consensus on organizations like the TSTA, ATPE, UEA, TCTA, AFT, etc.?
What of regional organizations? (any region really to benefit others with similar questions, but for me specifically in the RGV)

In my community, minimum wage workers spend 55.03%, or $3.99, of their hourly pay for a gallon of regular gas when they go to the pumps at the gas stations down the street.
We could say that leaves the worker $3.26 an hour to go toward housing, utilities, food, medical care and medicine, clothing, and other necessities.
Now, here is another negative to being a "contract" worker at the place where you used to be an employee before you were outsourced: The nurse's clinic is not allowed to take your blood pressure. I guess liability concerns trump the Hippocratic Oath.
