Texas’ ultra-right and regressive political and policy environment is worsening the social, cultural, and economic mobility for many Latino families – it echoes and has similarities to the Jim Crow era. Despite progress, disparities and inequities remain, with structural similarities emerging to systems that marginalized African Americans, Latinos, and low-income Whites. All emerging under an undemocratic and exploitive Texas vision. It must be resisted with equitable human capital investment in all Texas families.
