Friend,
Republicans are running a coordinated power grab. Texas is the launchpad.
At Donald Trump’s direction, Texas Republicans are attempting to advance congressional maps built to tilt the 2026 midterms in their favor. The aim is simple. Shrink the power of communities of color, young voters, and working people, and lock in an agenda that cannot win in a fair election. Republicans know their only path to retaining power is by rigging the rules in their favor.
Democrats are fighting back. Texas House Democrats are denying quorum to block this scheme. Governor Gavin Newsom in California and Governor Kathy Hochul in New York are matching Texas’s power grab with redistricting of their own. We oppose gerrymandering – but we will not roll over. If Republicans attempt to rig the game, we will meet them move for move to neutralize their efforts. Now it is our turn to add people power in every state.
Join People For and our allies at the National Day of Action this Saturday, August 16. Stand up to the Republican takeover. Texas will anchor the day at the Capitol in Austin. Across the country, we are gathering at statehouses, city halls, and community spaces to send a clear message. We will not let Republicans steal Congress.

Why your voice matters on August 16
- Visibility moves votes. Lawmakers and the press take notice when thousands show up.
- Pressure stops bad maps. Public outcry raises the cost of ramming through partisan lines.
- Community builds power. When we stand together, volunteers and voters multiply.
Bring a sign. Bring friends. Bring your voice. If you have not been to a rally before, this is the moment. If you have, bring someone new. Speak to local reporters. Share photos and video on social media (and tag People For in your posts!). Let neighbors know what is at stake and how to join you.
This is bigger than Texas. The Voting Rights Act is under sustained attack. Republicans are testing what they can get away with. We will meet that test with turnout, truth, and resolve.
Be there this Saturday, August 16. Together we will defend the vote, protect our rights, and stop this power grab before it spreads.
In solidarity,
People For the American Way
