At Texorcism, guests can find out what is going on with reproductive rights in Texas and how people can elect leaders who are less evil. There will be a drag performance by Extragrams, tarot reading and blessing by Sister Temperance Tarot, a panel discussion with representatives from The Afiya Center, Planned Parenthood Texas Votes and others moderated by Becky Bullard, founder of Democrasexy and co-host of The Rabble Texas politics podcast, and a silent auction benefiting organizations fighting for reproductive rights and getting Texas women elected.

Texorcism is a witchy-themed gathering to educate attendees about the state of abortion rights in Texas and what they can do to help elect pro-choice leaders.

The event will feature a live astrology reading for the State of Texas by astrologer and activist Serita Fontanesi; a panel discussion on the state of abortion rights in Texas with Aimee Arrambide (Executive Director of Avow Texas), former Texas State Senator Wendy Davis (Founder of Deeds Not Words), Marsha Jones (Executive Director of The Afiya Center), and Adri Pérez (Organizing Director for the Texas Freedom Network), moderated by comedian, activist and filmmaker Meghan Ross; a video art exhibition curated by artist Virginia Luna Montgomery; mystical election rituals; drag performances; music; and more.

Witchy attire is encouraged. Net proceeds benefit the Afiya Center, Avow Texas, the Texas Abortion Defense Fund and Texas Freedom Network’s Defend Democracy Fund.
