Thompson says the idea for Mothers Against Greg Abbott came about a year ago, when concerns over mask mandates in public schools were growing. “My son was really sick and in the hospital and Greg Abbott said that he was not going to require mask mandates in school and I was really angry because my son was super sick. The doctors said to be careful he doesn’t catch COVID when he goes back to school. I couldn’t sleep. I was really overwhelmed, and I didn’t know what else to do,” Thompson recalled.
Thompson believes that moment sparked a movement resonating with over 50,000 members who all wanted change in Texas politics. Thompson, along with fellow moms of the group, are producing ads to express their concerns on hot topics like COVID-19, gun legislation and access to abortion care. The group created a series of fictional videos telling the story of real issues affecting Texans. Theis of a doctor telling a pregnant patient that her unborn daughter has a life-threatening issue. During the piece, the patient asks the doctor for medical advice. The doctor pauses and goes to a telephone in the room to call on the Texas governor to discuss how he should proceed.
