John,

For years, we’ve known two things: Texans overwhelmingly support ending unnecessary cannabis criminalization, and the powers-that-be will use every tool at their disposal to crush that popular will.

In 2025, their attacks have escalated. Despite a quarter-million Texans voting YES to decriminalize marijuana in cities across our state, a court hand-picked by Greg Abbott has shamelessly vetoed their voices, declaring marijuana decriminalization illegal in Texas.

This isn't just about cannabis. This is a direct assault on the democratic process, on local control, and on the right of Texans to decide their own future.

But let us be absolutely clear: Ground Game Texas is NOT backing down.

This fight won't be easy, but we are doubling down, organizing at every level to reclaim the power of the people. A critical part of this fight is in the media, exposing the injustice and rallying support.

This week, our Executive Director, Catina Voellinger, published a powerful op-ed in Marijuana Moment. It lays bare the current state of this battle, explains why it matters so profoundly to the future of Texas, and details exactly what Ground Game Texas is doing to ensure the will of the people ultimately prevails.

But to continue amplifying our message, exposing these attacks, and mobilizing Texans, we need your immediate support.

Educating the public, fighting legal battles, and building a durable progressive infrastructure in Texas takes resources. Your donation right now is an investment in defending our democracy and ensuring that our votes—and our values—cannot be ignored.

Will you stand with us against this blatant overreach?

• A gift of $100 can help us reach more Texans with the truth through vital media outreach.

• $50 can equip our organizers to power communities fighting for local control.

• Even $25 makes a crucial difference in fueling our rapid response to these attacks.

The future of Texas depends on us fighting back NOW. Your immediate contribution is absolutely critical to our ability to push back against this injustice and ensure that the voices of Texans are heard, loud and clear.

Don't let them silence us. Donate now and help us fight for the Texas we deserve.

Onward,
