Texas Foremothers Tour - Blexas Edition

I don't know about you, but the sudden and sweeping changes this election brought have left me a bit emotionally disregulated, even though I am thrilled beyond words. Let's take some time to ground and connect with powerful Texas foremothers who have lessons for us to take forward on this path they helped pave.

Meet at the main entrance to the Texas State Cemetery on Navasota Street.

We will then visit inspiring Texas women's grave sites -- including Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and Sarah Weddington. We'll learn more about their legacies, and, incorporating the archetypes of the tarot, apply lessons from their stories to our lives today.

Tour includes:

• An intimate tour led by Becky Bullard, founder & CEO of Democrasexy and former co-host of The Rabble Texas politics podcast

• Your own "Chosen Ancestors" kit including a specially selected crystal, bluebonnet seeds, and journaling prompts

Tour tickets are sliding scale - $22,20 - $44.40 per person plus fees. Your purchase helps support Democrasexy's activism work on behalf of Texas women and LGBTQIA+ folks.

We have Sarah Weddington to thank for arguing and winning Roe v. Wade before the U.S. Supreme Court.

We have Barbara Jordan to thank for expanding voting rights in America.

Ann Richards brought more women and people of color into Texas state government than anyone before or since.

Learn more about these incredible women and make some new friends in our beautiful Blexas!
