Dear John,

This is the most important moment to fight back against voter suppression
in Texas.

Yesterday, Beto and Powered by People volunteers joined lawmakers,
advocates, business leaders, and concerned voters in Austin to rally
against the more than 50 voter suppression bills moving through the Texas
Legislature. Over 500 people from across Texas—from El Paso to Dallas to
Corpus Christi—signed up to show up at the Texas Capitol to stand up for
our democracy and push back against these egregious anti-democracy bills.

There are three things you can do RIGHT NOW to join us in this fight:

For Texas residents: Call your state lawmakers: On Friday, Republicans in
the Texas House of Representatives advanced SB 7, a dangerous bill that
aims to suppress the power of Texas voters in future elections—especially
voters of color, working Texans, young voters, and voters with
disabilities. But the fight isn’t over: legislators still must draft a
final version of the bill, which then must be voted on again by both the
House and Senate.

representative and state senator. Urge them to reject SB 7 and any other
anti-voter bill.

For everyone: Urge President Biden to do everything in his power to
support this fight: We’re doing all we can in Texas to protect our
democracy, but we need federal support. Right now, the U.S. Congress has
the chance to pass a critical piece of voting rights legislation called
the For the People Act, which would bring to a halt all anti-voter
legislation in Texas and across the country.

Biden to do everything he can to support the For the People Act and help
us push back against voter suppression in Texas.

For Texas residents: Become a Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) to help
Democrats win elections in Texas: Democrats are fighting tooth-and-nail
right now to protect our right to vote. We need your help to elect more
Democrats and flip Texas blue in 2022. By becoming a VDR and registering
as many voters as we can, we can all do our part to protect the right to
vote in Texas.

Follow these steps to become a VDR:

* [ [link removed] ]Look for your county name here, and follow instructions to sign up
and attend your training.
* If you don’t see your county on your list, don’t worry! You can still
attend an upcoming virtual training with us ([ [link removed] ]sign up for that
here).
* Attend and complete your training, and receive your VDR certificate.

Once you’ve done these three things, please forward this email to all the
Texans you know so they can do the same. We can only win this fight with
the power of people like you.

We can’t thank you enough for fighting with us,
