John,
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we don’t just honor a legacy, we tell the truth about power.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. understood something that systems still work overtime to hide: the true power has always lived with the people. Not with institutions that manage harm. Not with leaders who ask for patience. But with communities who organize together and refuse to accept injustice as inevitable.
The systems Dr. King named—those built to control, divide, and extract—are still here. They wear modern titles. They use new technologies. But they serve the same purpose: to keep people disconnected from their collective power.
We see that clearly today, as our communities are criminalized, brutalized, and surveilled—often with our own tax dollars. We are told to wait. To trust systems that have already failed us.
At Ground Game Texas, we organize because we know where power actually lives. We move the people’s mandate forward through policy, ballot victories, and deep local leadership—against all odds. And every time voters are given a real choice, they show us the same thing: when people are trusted, they choose dignity.
MLK’s vision was never about symbolic progress. It was about collective power reshaping the world. On this day, we recommit to building that power—together, rooted in community, and unafraid.
The power has always been with us.
And we are organized.
In solidarity,
Ground Game Texas
