Texas state Rep. Donna Howard posted a Twitter message Thursday that cited "inspiring words" from Abrams and added a photo of the video meeting with former Georgia gubernatorial candidate.
"This fight is worth fighting. Voting is about the ability to have a voice," Abrams told the Texas state lawmakers, according to Howard. "We are finding the power we need to protect our democracy."
Texas state Rep. Erin Zwiener also tweeted about the video meeting with Abrams.
"Big thank you to @staceyabrams for speaking to us today," Zwiener wrote. "Her words about ‘people who’ve never believed that power belonged to them’ particularly resonated. We must talk to people consistently and well before an election. Our organizing must be about policies, not personalities."
