R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Civic-minded individuals from across the Lone Star
State are gathering in Austin on April 14, 2015, to demonstrate
support for women and their families during Blue Ribbon Lobby Day at
the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, In 2013, this event was established by lead
organizers Diane Mosier, president of River Oaks Area Democratic
Women, and Lize Burr, president of Capital Area Democratic Women;
it unites Democratic and progressive women seeking to address a
variety of issues that affect the well-being of Texans, including
income equality, public education, and access to essential health
care; and
WHEREAS, The inaugural Blue Ribbon Lobby Day drew more than
400 participants who met with state legislators to discuss a
variety of matters, to advocate for progressive values, and to
convey the message that women play an integral role in the
prosperity of the state; since its inception, the Blue Ribbon
coalition has continued to grow, and its members are working
diligently to promote policies that increase the economic security
of women and make a positive impact in the lives of their families;
and
WHEREAS, Our democracy is greatly enriched when all voices
are heard in the political process, and Blue Ribbon Lobby Day
provides an important opportunity for public-spirited Texas women
to express their views and share their insights with lawmakers and
other officials; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize April 14, 2015, as Blue Ribbon Lobby
Day at the State Capitol and commend all those participating for
their civic engagement.
