It’s no secret by now that Trump and his Republican allies are trying to silence us before the 2026 midterm election — starting in Texas.
Right now, Texas House Democrats are denying quorum to block Trump’s attempt to redraw districts in his favor and silence the voices of communities of color.
But Trump’s plan doesn’t stop in Texas — he’s targeting Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and every state he can twist to help him remain in power.
That’s why, on Saturday, August 16, Common Cause is joining allies nationwide for Fight the Trump Takeover — a national day of action to stop this anti-democratic power grab >>
John, this is a fair representation emergency. Trump’s allies are undermining fair elections, holding communities hostage to their political agenda, and shredding the Voting Rights Act.
If they succeed, millions of us — especially communities of color, young people, and working-class voters — will be cut out of our democracy.
Take Action: Join your local Fight the Trump Takeover event on August 16 >>
John, this fight is about whether our country will remain a democracy where voters choose their leaders, or an authoritarian system where politicians choose their voters.
We’ve seen this playbook before:
Suppress the vote in communities of color
Rig district lines to lock in power
Change the rules to keep the opposition out
If we don’t stand up now, these tactics will spread — fast.
John, on August 16, we’re showing up everywhere to make it clear: we see what Trump is doing, and we will not stand for it. Will you join us?
In solidarity,
— The Common Cause team
