This is urgent:
Yesterday, Texas House Democrats broke quorum to stop Republicans from passing their new proposed congressional map.
Their new, gerrymandered map was designed to give five blue seats in Texas — which are currently held by Democrats — to Republicans. It’s a blatant power grab from Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott and an attempt to disenfranchise voters.
These Texas Democrats took an extraordinary step to ensure that Texas Republicans don’t have the power to rig our elections.
So we’re working with Powered by People — Beto O’Rourke’s Texas-rooted organization — to raise funds today to support these lawmakers directly as Gov. Abbott is now threatening to remove them from office.1
Because this is exactly the kind of political courage it’s going to take to stand up for our democracy.
Thank you for taking action today,
Team AOC
