First, some good news!

This past Saturday, more than 7 million Americans came together at more than 2,700 “No Kings” rallies across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as cities around the world, in the largest day of peaceful protest in our country’s history.  What a beautiful way to celebrate the United States of America and remind the world that we believe in democracy, not kings.

Speaking of democracy, Election Day is two weeks from tomorrow!  Here is more information for you to know:

🗳️ Important Election Information

Today, October 20, marks the first day of early voting here in Texas.

Every Texan will be asked to vote on important amendments to the Texas Constitution, and many will have local races on the ballot, too.  These elections may not get as much attention—but they shape our schools, our communities, and our future.

Make your plan to vote:

• Early In-Person Voting Begins: TODAY, October 20
• Last Day to Apply for a Mail Ballot: Friday, October 24 (must be received, not postmarked)
  • Harris County mail ballot information
  • Fort Bend County mail ballot information
• Last Day of Early Voting: Friday, October 31

📞 Volunteer Reminders

We have two important virtual phonebank opportunities this week and next.  Join Team Lizzie to help elect strong Democratic governors who will stand up for democracy:

• Abigail Spanberger — Tuesday, October 22 @ 5 P.M. CT
  (Abigail is the only Democrat in the country who can flip a governor’s seat blue this year!)

• Mikie Sherrill — Wednesday, October 29 @ 4 P.M. CT
  (Polls show this race is neck-and-neck, and we can help push Mikie across the finish line!)

Electing strong Democratic governors is one of the most powerful ways we can help stop President Trump and his administration’s authoritarian takeover of our government.  With just 15 days until Election Day and voters already casting ballots, this is a critical moment to act.

Can’t volunteer right now? You can still make a difference:

• Forward this email to friends who might be able to volunteer—these phonebanks are virtual and can be done from anywhere
• Make a financial contribution to our campaign—it is an investment in organizing in 2025 and winning in 2026, in Texas and across the country.

Together, we’ll keep fighting for democracy, for Texas, and for our future.
