Video from This Month @ The TNM

This Month @ The TNM - May 2022

Host Will Kacy opens This Month at the TNM with a recording of Executive Director Nate Smith's roadmap to an independent Texas, delivered to TNM leadership. The through line is the Texas Independence Referendum Act: a vote of the people is what makes independence real, and it has to run alongside election integrity so the result holds. Smith works through the plan to pass the bill in the 2023 legislative session and put the referendum to Texans the November after, the case for winning by a wide margin rather than a narrow one, recruiting candidates at every level from the schoolhouse to the statehouse, and why the movement's language has to reach Texans across party lines rather than Republicans alone.
