## Resource

El Paso residents get a rare chance to shape state policy as Texas Legislative Progressive Caucus holds an open public hearing Monday, July 27th at 6 PM at the El Paso Community Foundation. This second community forum—following a Houston event—aims to bring the legislative process directly to neighborhoods, gathering firsthand input on immigration detention and public education funding. State Rep. Vince Perez and fellow Caucus members will listen and engage with everyday Texans, rejecting the traditional Capitol-centric model. With evening hours and open access, the event invites everyone to voice concerns on healthcare, infrastructure, and the cost of living—testimony will be heard in formal panels. Perez emphasizes El Paso’s often-overlooked needs, declaring the Caucus won’t wait for permission to be heard. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
