Hi John,

**The Texas House has just voted down school vouchers.**

**This is a huge victory for Texas public schools... *and* for mothers, and others, like us.** Today's victory wouldn’t have been possible without the help you provided over the last several months. We asked you to help us support public schools, and you stepped up time and again.

Our hard work paid off.

I don’t want to spike the football to celebrate our success. Not least because our public schools might not have a football to spike if the voucher plan had succeeded. (*Yes, I know that spiking the football in a high school game is a 15-yard penalty, but let’s go with the metaphor..*.)

The same people who tried to strip our public schools of funding, and to give that money to rich private schools instead, aren’t going away. **They will be back.**

And so will we: We defended our public schools today, and we will defend them again.

At Mothers Against Greg Abbott, we believe in high quality, free public education for our children. We support our public school teachers and our public school children. And we won’t let a handful of anti-school activists steal our children’s futures from us.

**We’re here in support of public education, and we aren’t going anywhere.** The next time public education is on the legislative table, we’ll be there to defend it.

We won’t spike the football then either. We’ll celebrate because our public schools will still be there — to educate our children, to help them become our future leaders, to create the civic engagement that we all need.

And, yes, to give our kids a football, a softball, a volleyball, a tennis ball, a baseball, a basketball, arts programs, orchestra, school plays, reading specialists, school counselors, beloved school librarians, and so much more.

With love for our public schools and our public school educators,



**Nancy Thompson, Founder**
**Mothers Against Greg Abbott**

[]([link removed] For Democracy / Mothers Against Greg Abbott is **the largest coalition dedicated to defeating the extremist MAGA movement in Texas.** While we don’t agree on every topic, we all agree the Texas GOP isn’t Texas values.

Since 2021, we’ve been helping lead the Democratic resistance in Texas, we’ve organized thousands of local voters and our public issue campaigns have reached millions of Texans in key battleground areas. Now, we’re backed by thousands of Texas parents who are mobilizing in their own neighborhoods to ensure the Texas we hand over to the next generation is better than the one we've inherited.

We’re sick and tired of being linked to a handful of extremist MAGA spokesmen—divisive politicians like Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz. We know it’s going to take all of us to defeat them this election cycle. **The power of mothers and others like us means we know we can do it**: It’s time for democracy to prevail.

100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $23. We can’t stop until our children have the future they deserve. So this election cycle, we’re taking down Ted Cruz and dozens more of his Texas MAGA cronies. With you by our side, we’ll deliver the kind of leadership everyone living in Texas can be proud of.
