Hi,
After inciting a violent insurrection last week -- and with impeachment proceedings moving forward -- Donald Trump had the nerve to show his face in Texas today.
Trump spent the last four years stoking hatred, sowing division, and doing harm to the American people -- nowhere moreso than in Texas. He tried to build a stupid wall no one wants through our communities. He poured gasoline on the fire of white supremacy. And during the coronavirus pandemic -- aided and abetted by Texas Republicans -- Trump literally left Texans to die.
Now, during the final days of his presidency, Trump is traveling to Texas in a desperate attempt to find a microphone and a chance to claim success anywhere. He's a disgrace who wants to pick a fight and make himself the center of attention. But we won't let him. Trump's wall failed. His presidency failed. And his effort to divide us will ultimately fail. We will hold Trump and his allies accountable, but we are reclaiming our attention and focusing on our communities.
We have a whole lot to do to fight for Texas families, and that's what we need to focus on -- not a failed president leaving office in disgrace. Here's how Texas Democrats can show our unity and strength today:
First, let's show our support for organizations working on the ground in the Rio Grande Valley and beyond to counter the harm done by Trump Republicans. Follow Angry Tias and Abuelas, RGV Equal Voice Network, and No Border Wall Coalition online, and if you can, chip in a donation to further their work. For folks in El Paso, we're encouraging you to sign up for a volunteer shift with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank:
Follow RGV Equal Voice Network
Follow No Border Wall Coalition
Volunteer with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank
Then, with National Day of Service coming up on Monday, we must continue fighting for Texas families. Currently, 1 out of 7 Texans are struggling with food insecurity. That's why, for National Day of Service, the Texas Democratic Party is urging Texans to support Feeding Texas, which leads a united effort for a hunger-free Texas. Help combat food insecurity and support working families by contributing to Feeding Texas today:
I'll chip in to support Feeding Texas
In a few short days, Trump's presidency will come to a close. Texas is ready to turn the page and move forward together. The time is now.
Adelante,
