John,
We’re going to be fully transparent here. In the last few weeks, we’ve had to spend nearly $400,000 fighting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s abuse of office in court:
On Friday, the Abbott-appointed court unanimously ruled against Paxton and immediately removed his restraining order from our work.
In their ruling, the court said Beto and Powered by People “assert that the trial court’s modified Temporary Restraining Order violates their rights to free speech under the Texas Constitution and the United States Constitution and must be vacated for that reason. We agree.”
This is a huge victory — but it came at an enormous cost. Spending $400,000 just to defend our basic right to free speech was never something we anticipated. And now, those legal bills are threatening our ability to keep going at full strength.
Every single donation will make a difference, and we’re so grateful for anything you’re able to give.
Thank you so much,
Team Powered by People
