Meet Mini Timmaraju -South Asians and the Future of Texas Reproductive Rights

Join us for an intimate conversation with Mini Timmaraju, President of NARAL, Pro-Choice America, the national organization advocating and fighting for women’s reproductive rights for over 50 years. As a woman of south Asian descent, she recognizes the under-representation of minority communities in the conversation and is ready to bring all of us to the table. Prior to joining NARAL, Mini served as Senior Advisor to the Director at the Office of Personnel Management in the Biden-Harris Administration and also led Hillary for America’s National Women’s Vote strategy.

We’ll discuss the draconian trigger laws preventing access to abortion care in Texas, how we can meaningfully advocate and effect change and learn about the federal response to trigger laws around the country. Bring your questions and build community with others who care about the current state of women’s reproductive rights in our state.

Redistricting affects the South Asian Community. Redistricting is dividing up a jurisdiction (like a state, county, or city) into districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Where and how the lines are drawn influences everything from who is likely to be elected to how resources get allocated. And when it comes to democratic representation, communities matter. If our community is split up into different small pieces every ten years, it makes it harder to have a voice in government. We have several congressional districts across Texas that have between 10,000 to 50,000 Desis in each district. These districts are likely to be targeted, to dilute our vote. We need representatives from our community to help draw maps. This means helping to identify important community gathering places in your district. Examples include places of worship, grocery stores, dance studios, community halls etc.. We need representation from all religious groups, cultural groups, leaders in community groups, and citizens. We would like representatives from all groups within the South Asian umbrella. Please sign up - its critical to keep our voice We are doing this in partnership with AALDEF The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, a national organization founded in 1974, protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans.
