We discuss their efforts to help elect Joe Biden and equality-minded candidates in Texas.  HRC has launched a multi million campaign to mobilize 57 million equality voters across the nation, with a special focus on seven battleground states: Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Their aim is to put Joe Biden in the White House, and help elect fair-minded candidates across the nation.  HRC has identified three key factors that could depress turnout for Equality Voters, and has adopted strategies to counteract them.GUEST: Rebecca Marquezhttps://www.hrc.org Queer Voices airs in Houston Texas on 90.1FM KPFT and is heard as a podcast here.  Queer Voices hopes to entertain as well as illuminate LGBTQ issues in Houston and beyond.  Check out our socials at:https://www.facebook.com/QueerVoicesKPFT/ andhttps://www.instagram.com/queervoices90.1kpft/
