John,
We want to make sure you saw Beto’s email.
Ken Paxton announced today that he’s “working to put Beto behind bars” and that “it’s time to lock him up.” Paxton is trying to put Beto in jail to silence him and anyone who has the courage to fight back. He wants to shut us up and shut down Powered by People.

John,
They’re trying to jail me to silence anyone who has the courage to fight back.
We will not back down. We will not be intimidated.
We will fight these corrupt thugs with everything we’ve got.
