## Resource

Disability rights advocates flooded the Texas Capitol demanding the state drop its controversial lawsuit, Texas v. Kennedy, which they say threatens a cornerstone of civil rights — Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Key figures including Rep. Donna Howard and GOP congressional candidate Lauren B. Peña joined the rally, condemning Attorney General Ken Paxton’s legal move as a dangerous assault on dignity and access. Parents fear the lawsuit could dismantle vital support systems, forcing children into institutions. With pressure mounting, organizers are calling on Governor Abbott and Paxton to withdraw — and we’re watching to see if they’ll listen.
