Thousands of demonstrators gathered at the Texas Capitol on Sunday to protest a Republican-backed redistricting proposal that critics say could reshape the state’s political landscape and diminish minority voting power.

Organized by Texas Democrats, the rally marked a strategic shift from previous walkouts to direct public engagement through mass protest. Participants marched around the Capitol grounds, carrying signs and chanting slogans in opposition to the proposed district maps.

Democratic leaders addressed the crowd, warning that the redistricting plan under consideration could weaken fair representation in the state. The demonstration comes amid ongoing special legislative sessions, where lawmakers are debating and revising district boundaries based on the latest U.S. Census data.

Critics argue the maps would disproportionately impact minority communities, potentially diluting their electoral influence. Republican legislators maintain the proposed changes are based on population growth and demographic shifts across Texas.

Speeches, chants, and calls for transparent redistricting processes dominated the event. Organizers emphasized the need for public involvement as the Legislature continues to review and revise the proposed maps.

The protest, which drew significant media and online attention, remained peaceful. Law enforcement officers were present to monitor the event and ensure the safety of all attendees.

Texas Democrats have pledged to continue opposing the redistricting plan through legal avenues and further demonstrations. The final outcome of the redistricting process is expected to influence state and federal elections for the next decade.
