John,

Within just two weeks of Senator Ted Cruz inciting violence at the U.S. Capitol, Powered by People volunteers sent over 500 letters to local newspaper editors, putting pressure on them to do the right thing and call for Cruz’s resignation.

Hundreds of Texans writing to those in power, asking them to hold accountable those who have actively put our democracy at risk. No form letters, no planned scripts – real letters from real people, sharing why they wanted their senator to resign.

Since January 6th, three major Texas newspapers have called on Ted Cruz to resign after inciting the violence that took place in Washington, DC. People power – and public pressure – works.

Can you chip in whatever you can afford to help support the ongoing organizing work our team is doing in Texas to hold Ted Cruz and those who support him accountable? Our average donation this week is just $20.06.

I’m proud to be a part of Powered by People because of the work like this that is being done, and because so many folks are willing to put in the hard work and stand up for what they truly believe in. Whether you are a born and raised Texan or a supporter from afar, there is something powerful about seeing over 500 folks not only call on a powerful U.S. Senator to resign – but to advocate to the press for his resignation.

With your support, you have our commitment to keep doing the hard work our democracy needs! Donate what you can today to help fund our organizing work.

In solidarity,

Cynthia Cano
