Austin (KXAN) — More than 100 members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity united in the Texas Capitol to ensure their votes are counted during the 88th legislative session.
They discuss key issues that lawmakers need to consider: voting rights, black mother death rates, school safety, and gun violence.
Members of the Texas Council of Alpha Chapters make up 1/3 of the electorate in the districts of representatives of the Texas House. According to the head, they make up 80% of voters in Texas senatorial districts.
It is common practice for organizations to spend a day at the Capitol at the start of legislative session to outline priorities and issues.
