Texas Democratic lawmakers who skipped out on a special legislative session to break quorum and stall Republican efforts to pass new election integrity bills will be holding a slew of voting rights-related events in Washington, D.C., this week to put pressure on the federal government to pass federal voting rights legislation.

The five-day conference begins Monday and will feature guest speakers from around the country who will speak on voting rights. Notable names and organizations include the Service Employees International Union Texas and labor leader Dolores Huerta, according to reporting from the Washington Post.

The Texas lawmakers are also expected to meet with their counterparts in Colorado and Nevada to discuss voting rights and best practices for elections.

“Once there’s a little sunshine on this issue, I think there’s nobody in America that would disagree that voting rights are more important than Senate rules,” state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat from San Antonio, told NBC News
