Hi team,

I’m reaching out today with some big news that I wanted you to hear first. Today, I’m starting in my new role as Executive Director of Battleground Texas and me siento muy excited!

I have always been an organizer at heart and I can’t wait to get to work, but before we get back to organizing, I want to talk a little bit about what this means:

First, (and this is really important) our mission isn’t changing. We do this work because despite the setbacks of the last year, we have never been closer to changing the political landscape of Texas.

We know it, and so does the Texas GOP. It’s why they’ve responded so aggressively this year to try and suppress the vote and prevent people like me and my community from having a voice. So we’re going to keep at it, breaking voter registration records and training the next generation of organizers for the work ahead. Will you be a part of it?

Second, I want all of you to know that this is extremely personal for me. Texas is my home, and I’ve spent a lifetime wondering why the politicians that are supposed to be looking out for us consistently do the opposite.

As a native of the Rio Grande Valley I’ve watched Republicans in Congress and the State House target my loved ones, friends, and neighbors with legislation that takes away their health care, pollutes their communities, and lately, strips them of their right to vote, too.

I’ve dedicated my career to fighting against these attacks (a career that started right here at Battleground Texas) so I don’t take the responsibility of leading this organization lightly. My promise to all of you is that every ounce of my energy will be spent making Team BGTX the best that we can be.

I started my political career at Battleground Texas. This organization taught me how to organize my state and put my passion to work. I’m bringing to this role that same passion.

And we can’t do this without you, so here’s my very first ask as Executive Director: Please fill out this form, and let me know that you’re still with us.
 

Game on,

Terry
