Dear John,
Last year, the far-right politicians in power stooped to new lows to keep their grip on power, divide our communities, spread hate, and restrict our freedoms. The deck has never felt more stacked against democracy, both in our state and nationally. But John, we won't back down. Why? Because in the face of continued attacks, people like you continue to show up in community to build a better Texas. |
A Taste of What We Accomplished in 2024 -
When the state snuck Bible stories into an elementary school reading curriculum, thousands of activists in TFN’s grassroots network raised hell — putting a national spotlight on the religious right's attacks on Texas's impressionable students.
-
When anti-abortion extremists tried to pass an abortion travel ban in Amarillo, our Just Texas program worked with partners to educate residents who voted to reject the ordinance by a whopping 20 percentage points.
-
In the face of the far right’s voter suppression and intimidation efforts, our Texas Rising students registered thousands of Texans to vote and fought to establish polling locations at UT-Austin, St. Edward’s, and Huston-Tillotson.
-
As ISDs across Texas banned LGBTQIA+ stories and targeted queer children, our slate of endorsed school board candidates in Round Rock ran on the commitment to protect those children — and swept their elections.
This is the Texas we fight for; a state where we choose freedom over authoritarianism, hope over hatred, and moving forward over going backward. We’ve been leading the charge for progressive change for more than 30 years, and we won’t stop now.
In community, The TFN Team |
