John,

What’s happening in Texas right now is a warning sign for the rest of the country.

Republicans in the Texas House just passed their rigged redistricting maps, a move that will silence Black and Brown voters for years to come.

Emerge alums like Texas State Sen. Molly Cook and State Rep. Rhetta Bowers are showing us what standing up looks like in this moment. Their fight is part of a broader movement of Emerge women across the country who are standing firm against attempts to undermine democracy.

LTR: TX Democratic Reps. Morales Shaw, Emerge alum Bowers, Garcia Hernandez, and Plesa, Dean Senfronia Thompson.

But to keep up this fight, we need to train more women who are ready to join them in this critical moment. That’s why we’re asking you to make your first contribution of $25 today.

The attacks on our rights are escalating. We need to be prepared to respond, and with your support, we’ll train the women who will lead the charge.

Thank you for standing with us,
Becca DeFelice
Executive Director, Emerge Texas
