Ballots, ICE, and Student Protest in Texas: What’s at Stake?
Texas is at a crossroads.
In this episode of Rethinking Freedom, we break down two urgent issues shaping our state: the upcoming Texas primary elections and the wave of high school student walkouts protesting ICE enforcement policies.
Part I: Texas Primaries
Guest: Liz Jagodzinski, Elections & GOTV Committee Lead for Indivisible CenTex
We discuss what’s at stake in Texas and Bell County, why primary elections matter, and how civic engagement protects democratic norms.

Part II: Student Walkouts & Free Speech
Across Texas, students are walking out in protest as state leaders warn of disciplinary consequences. We examine the First Amendment, the history of student protest in Texas, and what students and parents need to know before participating.
