Team,
Today is a big day in American history. On this day in 1920, Congress officially ratified the 19th Amendment, cementing the right to vote for women in the United States.
It took a decades-long struggle to obtain women’s suffrage -- organizing on a massive scale, a dedicated strategy, and a whole group of people determined to see it through. Sound familiar?
At Battleground Texas we’re fighting for every vote -- we're aiming to register 50,000 Texans to vote by the 2020 primary. Will you help us get there by chipping in?
We have come so far, but the fight for universal suffrage continues even today.
With voter suppression becoming an active part of the GOP’s electoral strategy -- especially against women and people of color -- voting access and turnout has never mattered more.
It’s why a core part of our mission is registering as many voters as possible -- since our founding in 2013, we’ve registered more than 185,000 people in the Lone Star State -- and it’s why we’ve set such an ambitious goal heading into 2020.
But if we want to reach our lofty goal, we need you, team. Texas is on the verge of becoming a true battleground state, and the 2020 elections in our state could come down to just a handful of votes.
We’ve never been closer to achieving our mission of changing the face of Texas politics than we are right now. Let’s not lose the momentum -- make a donation today.
Game on,
Terry
