John,

Last week, a court—whose judges were all appointed by Greg Abbott—ruled
against Ken Paxton and threw out his baseless restraining order against
Powered by People.

It was a major win. Not just for us, but for the foundational principle
that no one—not even the chief law enforcement officer of the state—can
silence Texans who are organizing, mobilizing, and using their first
amendment right to speak freely.

But here’s the hard truth: It has already cost us nearly $400,000 to
defend ourselves from this political attack.

That’s money that should have gone into registering voters, holding town
halls, and reaching communities that will decide the next election.

And while we were busy defending ourselves, they kept attacking-because
they’re scared of our movement.

Now we have the chance to shift the narrative—and the momentum.

We chose to defend ourselves against these attacks, to fight back, because
our work is critical to the future of this country and because we’re sick
of watching the conventional centers of power—like Disney/ABC which just
cancelled Jimmy Kimmel—bend the knee to these thugs. We’re taking this
fight directly to them, winning important victories in courts from El Paso
County to the 15th Court of Appeals. We want to show that in Texas, our
knees don’t bend.

I don’t take a salary from Powered by People. Just like thousands of our
other volunteers, every hour I put into this work is because I believe in
this state and our country, and in what we can accomplish when we work
together.

That’s why Paxton came after us in the first place. He knows what we’re
doing can change what’s possible for Texas and for America.

But to finish this fight—and win it—we need to rebuild what we lost and
take this movement as far as it can go.
