Lobby Day

The most important part of the ReEnergize Texas will be the lobby day, happening on Monday the 30th. Some will inevitably return home for school or work at the end of the day Sunday, and will miss the event. But for those who stay it will be an exhilarating experience to join hundreds of young Texans in taking accountability from their government.
