Hi friend,
It’s been four days since our Texas Democratic lawmakers landed in D.C., and they’re not backing down from the fight for voting rights.
Friend, these lawmakers put their lives on hold to take a stand for Texas, and I couldn’t be more proud. They refused to be bullied by Greg Abbott. They took matters into their own hands -- because that’s what Texas needed.
The most amazing part, friend? It’s working. The most powerful Democrats in D.C. are listening to our legislators as they demand help from Congress. But there’s still a long road ahead. They need our help to achieve real federal legislation. We cannot let this bill undermine our voting rights. If Congress doesn't act, Texas Republicans will succeed in undermining voting rights and our democracy.
We’re not going to stand by and watch millions and millions of Americans lose the right to vote. Thanks for fighting for our democracy today.
