Dear John,
When polls in Texas close tomorrow night at 7 p.m., we won't have too long to wait before learning the fate of all 14 constitutional amendments that are on this year's ballot.
How these amendments are decided, and to what extent our Voting Recommendations carry the day tomorrow, will have powerfully important implications.
Many Texas voters — especially Democratic Texas voters — may use this election as a proving ground, deciding whether it’s worth it to vote in next year's election.
If we can show strength and momentum now — by defeating MAGA-fueled constitutional amendments like Proposition 1, which would favor Big Ag over local Texas farmers, and Proposition 10, which gives Big Pharma a tax break at the expense of our local schools — people will know that our locally-powered parent movement has what it takes to help carry the Democratic agenda to victory here in Texas.
Especially if constitutional amendments like Proposition 9, which provides Texas school teachers a better, more equitable retirement, pass at the same time.
*See all Mother Against Greg Abbott 2023 ballot recommendations, here.
If we fail — if people like you don't step forward to cast a ballot this election — there's a risk that prospective voters will write off 2024 entirely, they'll stay at home, and we won’t be able to count on them when it comes to defeating candidates like Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
In other words: what we do tomorrow could become one of the best predictors of how we'll do a year from now, on Election Day 2024.
That's why Mothers Against Greg Abbott is doing everything we can now to help Texas Democrats and the Democratic agenda reach victory tomorrow. We've sent out teams of canvassers to Uvalde to help get out the vote, we're on the ground in neighborhoods all across the state, and we'll be sending out even more voting reminders tomorrow.
We've even launched our newest battleground plan — our GenZ Voter Registration Project that, with your support, will help young people in 2 of the most crucial battleground counties in Texas get registered to vote before the 2024 election.
But we also need your help: Please donate what you can — as much as you can afford — to make sure that before the polls close tomorrow, we have the money and the momentum to inspire the faith of Texas voters who want to know that Democratic ideas can win in Texas.
