SEAT joins lawyers from the ACLU of Texas, Transgender Law Center, and Backer McKenzie at a Federal Courthouse.

We Sued a Texas DEI Ban, and We're Winning!!

Today, 300,000+ students enter classrooms in Houston, Katy, and Plano ISDs with their rights to diverse clubs restored, their stories teachable, and their identities speakable – thanks to a preliminary injunction our lawyers secured in federal courts that halts enforcement of key provisions in Senate Bill 12.

Students Advocate for Religious Diversity

Your school board might be voting today or this week on whether to adopt a religious prayer period. SEAT organizers like Bailey, Grace, and Hailey spoke up, and their districts affirmed religious liberty and diversity! We encourage you to take their lead, check your board's agenda, send an email, and sign up to speak.

TAKE ACTION

Secure Storage & Suicide Prevention Act

SEAT students wrote H.R.7591, introduced last week by Congressman Dan Goldman, to require schools to provide information to parents and community members on the importance of secure storage of firearms. This applies to schools receiving certain federal grants for mental health and suicide prevention, and it will save lives.
