John,
Texans are facing a catastrophic winter storm emergency right now. 2.5 million people are without power in below-freezing temperatures — forcing families to sleep in their winter coats indoors, boil tap water, and even burn their furniture to keep warm out of desperation.
And in the midst of this disaster for Texas women and families, last night Ted Cruz flew to Cancun for a vacation. See for yourself:
If you did a double take when you saw that picture, John, you're not alone. It's almost incomprehensible that a state's own U.S. Senator would completely abandon his constituents in this time of extreme crisis.
Women's Marchers know that this is NOT okay. Texans need real, urgent relief from this storm — and they need their leaders to actually lead.
If you can, split a contribution of $10 or more between Feeding Texas, an organization providing food and support for people in Texas, and Women's March. Together, we're going to provide immediate relief to those hit hardest by the storm and organize to kick "Cancun Cruz" out of office once and for all.
Women's Marchers have been laser-focused on ending Ted Cruz's career since before this storm, John — this new development just makes the need to kick him out of office all the more dire. Together, Women's Marchers have partnered with Boot Texas Republicans to send nearly 7,000 letters to Cruz's top donors asking them to cease and desist their support.
Cancun Cruz is failing women and families in every sense. He's failing the families freezing right now, failing to acknowledge the reality of our climate crisis, and he's failed to show his loyalty to his constituents as he sits on vacation in Cancun.
We know how powerful this grassroots team is when we work together — and we know how much support we'll be able to provide to those hit hardest by the winter storm in Texas if each of us pitches in whatever we can.
Thank you for being a part of this work,
Women's March
