Right now, every Democratic member of the Texas House is risking everything by standing firm and protecting Texans from the Trump takeover. They’re taking these risks because they know the GOP-proposed gerrymander silences communities and threatens not just Texas, but Congress and our entire democracy — so it’s worth it.
These Dem lawmakers have walked out of the state, broken quorum, and refused to back down, choosing to stand in solidarity with Texans (and voters everywhere) rather than bow to power and politics.
We’d like to take the next few days introducing you to some of our amazing TX House Dems colleagues so you can understand WHY we are working so hard to support them.
They’re putting themselves in the line of fire when our rights are on the line — and we’re deeply proud of the work they do every day, not just for this fight. That’s why we’re inviting you to click here and instantly add your name to show us that you’re standing with our House Dems.
