Even when crossing in front of busy streets and beeping cars. I penned my first play at the ripe age of seven, which followed a torrid love affair between the two lawn gnomes in my yard. Don’t worry — they’ve since reconciled, and their relationship continues to grow stronger each day. I earned my BFA in Playwriting from Chicago's DePaul University in 2017, where my play about our country's barriers to abortion access, Mrs. Phu’s Cleansing Juices (and also salads), was given a mainstage production. Soon after, the play received a Distinguished Achievement Award for Playwriting from The Kennedy Center. Now, I pour that same passion for storytelling into my communications work, which focuses on building power for reproductive justice in Texas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/599d06ea-3b20-40ac-a3b0-22fc4c7d7236/Avow-BlogImages-Zohran.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emilylwitt.com/social-media-samples daily 0.75 2024-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1631311566979-5RD36Z9VN2C4SR8BMCGK/202217466_10158455588509217_1643611557384806039_n.jpeg Social Media Samples - Make it stand out CASA of Travis County When it’s safe to do so, CASA believes it is in children’s best interest to stay connected to their families. In one recent case, CASA recommended that both parents engage in a sober community in order to maintain their sobriety. Both mom and dad fully committed to the process and built a stable support system of people who were invested in their success. Mom has even gone back to school in order to learn how to help others maintain sobriety! After months of hard work and never missing a visit with their children, the family was safely and happily reunited. Which, in our eyes, is the biggest victory of all! #CASAShowsUp #NationalReunificationMonth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1623184533903-L5PV9F69JLGE4Y0WVIER/CSU-03.png Social Media Samples - Make it stand out CASA of Travis County Our Family Finding Program is something we're extremely proud of at CASA of Travis County, precisely because of happy endings like this: When two young boys came into our care, it seemed initially that their biological father wasn't engaged as either a possible placement or support system for his sons. However, we knew how impactful it would be to connect these children with a safe, loving family member and decided to try and connect with the father through our Family Finding Program. The Family Finding volunteer was quickly able to find contact information, and as soon as the dad found out his kids were in care, he jumped right in and got involved! The case was closed quickly after, and most importantly, the boys are home with their father. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1623116470927-MEPJEOOUYVFXR9KP8UCM/150368565_10158185093234217_5652675644323352453_n.png Social Media Samples CASA of Travis County A week ago today, our community came together from many homes across Austin to raise one powerful voice for local children who’ve experienced abuse or neglect. Your generosity meant that we soared past our 2021 CASAblanca goal, and we raised an incredible $940,000 to help 470 children have CASA’s advocacy and support for an entire year!

Wade and in honor of Pride Month, we’ve got some timely reminders on the gender-neutral abortion language we should all be using. Everyone with a uterus can become pregnant and needs access to abortion care, as well as the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare. Using inclusive, gender-neutral language, like “people seeking abortions,” instead of “women seeking abortions,” when talking about abortion is just one way to ensure LGBTQIA+ people are represented in the reproductive justice movement and face less stigma when accessing abortion and all forms of reproductive healthcare. To find more resources on gender-neutral abortion language, visit tfn.org/gender-neutral-abortion-language or view the link in our bio for easy access. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1623103968802-KJBB59IU0C3BVIRMIXJZ/CSU-01.png Social Media Samples CASA of Travis County Our Early Family Engagement program was created to help children foster connections with family members, engage relatives who might be potential placements, and to build a community of caring, loving adults for every child we serve. Recently, CASA’s Early Family Engagement Team was able to identify more than 20 relatives for a sibling group we serve—creating an array of healthy connections and potential placements for these children that didn’t exist before CASA became involved with the case. We are so proud of this team’s work to build and foster family relationships for the children we serve! #CASAShowsUp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1623184208442-FGQUVYS7RD4KECTMGK6M/Mother%27sDay-01.png Social Media Samples - Make it stand out CASA of Travis County At CASA, we know that every family looks different.

And I do think that’s their goal. I genuinely think that their goal is to eliminate public education, and this is the first step there. A year from now, people are going to see that the neighborhood schools in their communities are shuttering or having to cut resources for students, and they’re going to be really upset. And I think that there’s going to be hell to pay at the ballot box.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/35b719a1-8e25-47c6-b9e0-6541f4f1da43/Screen+Shot+2025-04-06+at+7.39.37+PM.png Media Quotes + Clips "This is a performative action," said Emily Witt with the Texas Freedom Network. "There is no piece of paper or order that can change the fact that trans and nonbinary people have always existed, and they will always exist." For LGBTQ+ advocates, it is a familiar attack and a "red meat" issue designed to score political points with the Republican base by "scapegoating vulnerable communities." "These are all just distractions, but at the same time, they are real threats to people who exist in Texas and deserve to be safe and embraced in our state," Witt said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/587125b6-81d7-4a6b-b60d-5a1edf506bcb/Dallas+Observer+Headline.png Media Quotes + Clips "Teens have even less access to deciding their futures and their pregnancy outcomes than ever, honestly, in the state of Texas." – Emily Witt, Texas Freedom Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/1be24ce6-3f72-470c-b0ed-0e2cd9e8c18b/Screen+Shot+2025-04-06+at+7.46.37+PM.png Media Quotes + Clips “Parents do have the right to control the education of their children, absolutely, but I think that creating laws like this and stoking fear in parents puts out the message that it’s not okay for their kids to learn about people who are different from them,” Witt said. “I think that does a disservice to parents as well.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/3065444d-fd54-46eb-86a6-a47bb6ae85c8/NBC+4+abortion+quote+-+headline.png Media Quotes + Clips "We're seeing that there is really no respect for sanctity of life from the people who keep saying that they value life so much," Emily Witt, communications and media strategist for the Texas Freedom Network, said. In Texas there is a near total abortion ban outside of a medical exception when the mother is, “at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed or induced.” The Texas supreme court ruled that Cox did not meet that criteria. "This case certainly shows us that no one is immune from abortion bans," Witt said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/f8947f81-a074-4b05-924c-239aae194f36/Chron+Kate+Cox+Headline.png Media Quotes + Clips Abortion advocates like Emily Witt, a 30-year-old spokesperson for Texas Freedom Network, an Austin-based advocacy group partnering with churches statewide that believe abortion is "a moral and social good," said that Cox faced life-threatening risks if she continued with the pregnancy. "There's really not an exception in this ban," Witt said. "The language is so vague and that's intentional so that people can't actually ever get the care that they need, because life is not really the thing that they're trying to defend here. They're trying to control women's bodies." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/0c037d95-35bc-415c-bb23-95cf90128c4f/KXAN+headline.png Media Quotes + Clips Emily Witt with the Texas Freedom Network, which advocates for LGBTQ rights, said investigations like the one launched by the Attorney General could have ripple effects on children’s medicine across the state. "When we pass laws like this, we keep talented, competent, passionate doctors from wanting to work in Texas because their ability to live up to their oath, to serve their patients — is becoming illegal,” Witt said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/fdbdb83f-086e-4107-943f-d36ca0e7ec31/Screenshot+2024-04-08+at+5.13.14%E2%80%AFPM.png Media Quotes + Clips “It’s very egregious to us that after the deadliest school shooting in Texas public schools, only almost a year ago, we wouldn’t be using these funds to keep our kids safe from being shot in our schools. But instead, we would be hiring religious leaders, which violates the religious freedom of Texas families and students while not actually keeping them safe,” Witt said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e44952129f2871651bb4f3d/b8ba242d-ffe9-470d-9ca3-fa9feadc5cfb/Screen+Shot+2025-04-06+at+7.44.04+PM.png Media Quotes + Clips “School boards and boards of trustees have been infiltrated by a lot of right-wing politicians,” said Witt, of the Texas Freedom Network. “By using the board of trustees to implement pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-DEI law, it makes it really clear that this bill is not about parental rights, but it’s about pushing forth a political agenda.”
