Hi ,
I'd like to start by telling y'all a story — fitting for a book club, I know, and this particular story happens to be true.
Our team came up with the idea for our Anti-Fascist Book Club during our last retreat. We knew moms like us would have to tackle the extremism that's taken over Texas and the country — but we wanted some tools, some resources, some tips... and sadly, Google failed us.
So we knew we'd have to build this ourselves.
Last month more than 300 mothers, and others like us, signed up for the very first session of our Anti-Fascist Book Club. Our 1st book club was the largest virtual event our organization has ever thrown.
As the saying goes... knowledge is power.
Our organization turned out in record numbers because all of us know what's at stake this year. It's on us to do whatever it takes to combat the growing fascist sentiment.
And because all of you proved just how powerful our book club could be, we've set an even bigger goal for our next meeting — getting 500 people to join us.
If you joined us in January, a giant Thank You, and we hope you're already signed up for this month's book club.
If you're new to our book club, welcome! There's still time to join us this month. Just RSVP here and we'll see you next Sunday evening.
And please, invite your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers. We want everyone in your life who's ready to fight against extremism to participate in our group discussion.
This month, we'll be reading Mr. Texas, Pulitzer Prize winner Lawrence Wright's satiric account about the kitschy weirdness of Texas politics.
As Paul Begala of The New York Times Book Review puts it: "Wright’s book takes an up-close look at Texas politics, with all its ugliness and madness — as well as its flashes of greatness — and reminds us that none of our leaders are carved out of stone.”

We launched our candidate webinar symposiums last month to learn more about the Democratic candidates appearing on 2024 Texas ballots. And we're still meeting new candidates each and every week! |
Mothers and others like us are going to play a huge role in 2024. What we can accomplish in the next nine months will likely be the difference all across the country.

Mothers 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. |
