Beto O’Rourke built one of the best grassroots networks this country has ever seen.

I saw it in action when I campaigned with him in Texas in 2018 -- crowds thousands deep showing up on a rainy weekend morning because of how deeply they believed in turning Texas blue.

Beto has been one of my closest friends since we both entered Congress together in 2012. He’s continuing his work today with Powered X People in Texas to build on the progressive momentum in the state. I’m so grateful and excited to host a grassroots conversation with him this coming Wednesday, June 3rd at 6:40pm – and I’d love for you to join us.

We have 1,000 spots available on our Zoom call and spots are already filling up. Will you join us by chipping in $10 or more to RSVP for our grassroots conversation?

Normally, we hold these grassroots conversations out in a living room or union hall or backyard. But this crisis has shifted the way we do things, moving all our operations online. The upside is that I am able to invite folks from all across this Commonwealth and country to join us for this conversation.

There is nothing Beto and I agree on more than the power of grassroots activism. Here in Massachusetts, we’re building a campaign built by and driven by people. And we’d love for you to be part of it. That’s why we’re having this virtual grassroots conversation with Beto O’Rourke. I hope you’ll join us by pitching in.

With Beto and I, there is no knowing what we’ll end up talking about. When I was driving around Texas with him campaigning, we spent hours on Facebook Live talking about everything from health care reform to our marriage proposals (mine was a disaster -- btw). A few weeks ago we were on Instagram Live together trying to talk about COVID response, and instead my son James stole the camera to tell the world how many cookies he’d eaten that day.

Which is all to say: This will be a good conversation and a great way to come together during these times we’re apart. Hope you’ll join us. Stay safe. Talk soon.
