John,
They want to make examples out of those who fight so that others won't.
Paxton is trying to shut down Powered by People, one of the largest voter
registration organizations in the country, because our volunteers fight
for voting rights and free elections… the kind of work that threatens the
hold that Paxton, Trump and Abbott have on power in Texas.
In addition to helping register hundreds of thousands of voters, our
members have volunteered in other important ways, including picking up
thousands of shifts at Texas food banks. During Abbott’s electricity grid
failure in 2021, we made more than a million calls to connect seniors to
warming centers and safety.
We also purchased nearly a million dollars in supplies for Texans
abandoned by their elected officials who were too busy fleeing to Cancun
or letting their gas pipeline donors steal billions in illegal profits
while hundreds of Texans were dying.
Now Paxton’s filed a restraining order to try to take us out of the fight.
He wants to silence me and stop me from leading this organization. He
wants to stop us from fighting Trump’s attempt to steal the five
congressional seats he needs to hang on to power.
But I’m not going anywhere.
I plan on speaking at our rally to stop the power grab in Fort Worth
tomorrow afternoon.
This is our moment to fight for our democracy as hard as we possibly can.
We’re going to take this fight to Paxton, Abbott, and Trump with
everything we have.

critical moment.
In solidarity,
Beto
