Show Notes
You may have seen Angel on the news talking Texas politics. But what you may not know is that Angel Carroll spent her career fighting for criminal justice reform, ran for the Texas House, and was arrested at the Texas Capitol during the redistricting protest. Now she's suing Governor Greg Abbott for banning her from the building without due process. Kate and Alex sit down with Angel to hear the full story: what led her to that moment, what happened inside county jail, and why this lawsuit is about so much more than four women and a one-year ban.
Plus: Kate spoke at a veterans event, Alex celebrates 14 years of marriage, and Angel shares a milestone birthday and a prayer she made at 16 that she never thought she'd live to see answered.
We cover:
* Angel's path from the foster care system to the Texas Capitol * What actually happened the night Nicole Collier was locked on the House floor * The moment Angel decided she wasn't leaving and what that felt like * 30 state troopers for four women: the arrest and six hours in Travis County jail * Charges rejected, but the ban upheld — the constitutional case for why that's wrong * The Alabama pilgrimage: Africatown, the Selma bridge, and the lynching museum * Marching orders: what every Texan can do right now to fight back

More from Mission: Texas
Alex flies solo this week to sit down with Evan Hunt, Air Force veteran and Democratic nominee for Congress in Texas's 3rd District, as early voting kicks off against Republican incumbent Keith Self. Evan traces his path from B-1 bomber missions over Iraq and Afghanistan to a defense industry career to political anger reignited by Trump's reelection, and lays out why he thinks this ruby-red Collin County-anchored district — one of the fastest-growing in the country — is more winnable than the maps suggest.
This week Mission: Texas sits down with Emily Roth, a Houston mom suing the state and Spring Branch ISD after Ten Commandments posters went up in her kindergartner's classroom. Emily walks through her exhaustion of the school district's grievance process, the decision to ground her lawsuit in Texas law — the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the newly passed parental rights constitutional amendment — rather than a federal establishment clause claim, and why she sees this as fundamentally a parental rights issue rather than an anti-religion one. We also talk about Microactivism, the platform she built to turn overwhelmed parents into organized, two-minutes-a-week activists.
This week Mission: Texas sits down with Chanda Parbhoo, a longtime South Asian community organizer in Dallas who built SAAVETX (the state's largest South Asian voter outreach organization) from five moms into a grassroots force with nearly 600 volunteers and over half a million voter touches heading into this election. Chanda traces the decade-long effort to build civic infrastructure for a community that didn't have any, unpacks the fallout from Bo French's attacks on UT Austin students, and makes the case that South Asian Texans — roughly 2% of the electorate in a state Beto lost by 2.5 points — are an underinvested, up-for-grabs constituency that could decide close races.
To mark Mission: Texas's one-year anniversary, we bring back our very first guest, reelected Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder, to check in on everything that's changed since our debut episode. Kendall reflects on a grueling year and a half in the chair, reports back on the three goals he laid out in that first conversation — message discipline, infrastructure, and statewide presence — and walks through the actual math behind flipping the Texas Senate.
To mark our one-year anniversary, Mission: Texas sits down with Beto O'Rourke — founder of Powered by People and the Democrat who's come closest to flipping a statewide race in a generation.
