These experiences created a passion for protecting others from these kinds of negative health outcomes, which she has turned into activism. Rebecca currently serves as its Director of State Policy for Texans for V@xxine Choice. Whether it’s meeting with legislators, drafting legislative strategy, or block-walking for candidates, Rebecca is dedicated to protecting medical liberties and informed consent for all Texans.   In 2015, when legislators were led astray and filed oppressive bills that would take away parental rights and v@xxine choice, Jackie Schlegel stepped up to the plate, said: "not on my watch,” and threw her hat into the political arena. In just four short years, she took a group of passionate moms and turned it into the epitome of grassroots activism, setting an unprecedented standard for the nation and even drawing worldwide attention.    That fledgling group of 20 is now a political action committee and educational foundation, with over 30,000 social media followers as well as 12,000+ official members who proudly align themselves with Texans for v@xxine Choice. Thanks to Jackie's endless energy and passion, this group is organized with local branches, core members, and team leaders impacting their schools, their communities, and their legislators. Her unshakable dedication inspires all members to have a laser focus on their mission of protecting and advancing informed consent, medical privacy, and v@xxine choice.   Also in this episode: Episode 179: Coronavirus and Immune System Support Episode 188: Body Autonomy and Listening to Your Inner Wisdom with Dr. Christiane Northrup Episode 214: Genetic SNP and Medical Autonomy Episode 219: DIVOC and Long Haulers Texans for v@xxine Choice Matching Donation Campaign TFVC Proclamation TFVC Welcome to Texas Guide PSA: Covid v@xxines and vulnerable Texans
