In Dallas, the Women’s March is being expanded to include a rally and “mega” phone bank.

 

It starts at 10 a.m. Saturday at Dallas City Hall, 1500 Marilla St.

 

Participants will walk about 1.7 miles to the CWA Hall, 1408 N. Washington Ave., during the event, which is hosted by state Rep. Victoria Neave, D-Dallas.

 

There, they will have a rally and begin a phone bank, calling women to ask what their top legislative priorities are and let them know they’ve “got their back,” said Rebecca Acuna, chief of staff for Neave.

 

Co-hosts of the Dallas event include Planned Parenthood, Moms Demand Action, Battleground Texas, the Dallas AFL-CIO and the Texas Young Democrats.

Civic leaders love to talk about how Houston is a city of opportunity. It's on banners at the airport. It's been used to sell the General Plan. The Greater Houston Partnership uses it as a tagline. Mayor Sylvester Turner used the word "opportunity" five times in his inauguration speech last year.
