Teach the Babies w/ Dr. David J. Johns

Legislating Love with Representative Venton Jones (D-TX)


Listen Later

In case you missed it, as the new Texas state legislative session commenced on Tuesday, Jan. 14, Jones, one of the first Black same-gender loving men to serve in the state house, got down on one knee and proposed to his longtime partner, Gregory Scott Jr., moments after being sworn in at the State Capitol in Austin. Rep. Jones stops by the class to talk about the responsibility of elected office,, the importance of going back home to lea,d, the importance of love, afrofuturistic dreams that include family, and finding and creating safe and soft places. There’s some School House Rock revisiting how a bill becomes a law and the importance of sustained legislative and civic engagement. This episode is bound up on knowing love–love of yourself, love of community, and love of family.  We pray you know love.
