I joined with
students from KIPP: Austin College Prep.
I joined U.S. Reps. Rubén Hinojosa, Ciro Rodriguez, and Solomón
Ortiz to speak out on Capitol Hill against the federal US-VISIT
program and its discriminatory treatment of Mexican visitors to
the United States.
I was honored to read to a group of children at the Windsor
Park Branch of the Austin Public Library. At the event, members
of The Austin Project, the Austin Child Care Council and I
announced $1 million in new federal funding for early literacy
programs.
