Following the mass shooting in Downtown Austin this morning and the outbreak of war in the Middle East, Builders Movement is postponing its Texas Independence Day event scheduled for tomorrow, March 2, at the State Capitol until further notice.<\/p>\n
Monday\u2019s event was intended to celebrate independence and civic participation ahead of Tuesday\u2019s Primary Election. Out of respect for the victims and their families, as well as the ongoing investigation, Builders has postponed it to keep attention and resources focused on those who need it.<\/p>\n
Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and all those impacted. We are deeply grateful for the first responders who acted quickly and heroically to prevent further harm, and we stand with our Texas community during this difficult time.<\/p>\n
We also recognize the historic events unfolding in the Middle East, and hold our American service members and all people throughout the region in our thoughts.
\nMoments like this call for our shared humanity and compassion. In times of unrest, we often feel hopeless and wonder what one person can do. As a Builder, you can be a force for peace and healing in your community. It starts with listening, engaging respectfully, and participating in our democracy.<\/p>\n
While our event is postponed, the Texas Primary Election is not. We encourage every Texan to exercise their right to vote on March 3rd and choose leaders who will prioritize the people they serve. We are grateful for your understanding and continued support.<\/p>\n
