Now that the bills have been passed onto their opposite chamber or died in committee, we enter the home stretch for this session.  February 25, 2026 is the policy committee cutoff date for this session.  There will likely be a few more as they still have today to push through the remaining bills, but in the meanwhile you can comment on the bills with hearings thus far.

From the UU Solidarity Initiative:

We are positioning for a shutdown fight specifically on DHS and the activity of ICE and CBP later this week, and because of your enthusiastic participation, the UU Solidarity Initiative invites you to double our collective impact with a second National Week of Action!  Once again, we will have a live virtual action hour each day, in addition to an additional 50 hours of phone blitz calling! Yesterday we kicked off the week with The Gathering’s stories of local work against ICE, today UUs for Social Justice is holding an action hour. 

Join us to keep the pressure on Congress to reject ICE funding, extend  Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, and more. The Thursday and Friday Action Hours will feature a special musical performance from Emma’s Revolution! Come to a few of these events or, better yet, come to them all!

 Thursday 2/12 with Texas UU Justice MInistry (TXUUJM) - With Emma’s Revolution
