2019, at the Texas LULAC 90th State Convention and Expo; and | ||
WHEREAS, LULAC was founded in 1929, and the organization | ||
has been a leader in the field of civil rights for 90 years; it | ||
has championed the ideals of respect for human dignity and equal | ||
access to education, health care, and housing and has worked to | ||
resolve issues related to immigration, the judicial system, and | ||
voting rights; it is the largest and oldest civil rights | ||
organization in the United States; and | ||

a common vision that will unite people from all demographic | ||
groups and walks of life; the group has been a leader in building | ||
coalitions with a wide range of organizations to help the nation | ||
live up to its founding principles and ideals; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 90 years, Texas LULAC has been a steadfast | ||
defender of civil rights and an untiring advocate for economic | ||
opportunity and human dignity; state director Lupe Torres has | ||
played a vital role in the organization's achievements, and her | ||
lifetime of service to others has contributed greatly to her | ||
outstanding leadership of Texas LULAC for the past three years; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
