“In the absence of a public history about Latinos in the United States, the Texas Latina is politically vulnerable.”
Latinas organized their communities, were behind massive mobilizations that increased voter turnout in Texas, and were at the head of groups such as MiGente and the Texas Organizing Project. The essence of her true threat rests in a political outlook that synthesizes issues that are addressed as disparate and unrelated by many progressives and liberals.
Where others see the distinctive issues of immigration, economy, voting rights and reproductive rights affecting distinct constituencies, Texas Latina leaders have labeled a united assault. Less than two weeks after choices were lost for pregnant people, protestors at the Texas capitol declared a “cross movement” demonstration: The People vs. The State of Texas.
In the video, Hidalgo described the Republican legislative agenda as “extreme” and “they’re taking this state back in time.” New gun laws that remove restrictions to gun ownership, she said, were a throwback to the Wild West. New voting laws were reminiscent of the days of Jim Crow. on discussions about race and racism in the classroom are “like back in the day when we all had to pretend racism wasn’t a thing.” The latest abortion law represented a regression to days before. Hidalgo characterized the laws as an effort to undo progress while promoting a vigilante movement at voting sites, the doctor’s office and classrooms, pitting people against each other.
Through the eyes of Texas Latinas, the state is waging an assault on progress, democracy and community, and sees her as a threat because she transcends the world of disparate “issues” and identities to promote an ideology of unity and equity. And for that reason, Texas will do whatever it takes to contain her.
