Hi Friend, did you see this?

This morning, three of our incredible Texas Democrats in D.C. gave their testimony in Congress. They spoke about the long and violent history of voter suppression in our state. They testified on how Texas Republicans are keeping that history alive. And they advocated for Texas communities and putting an end to these Republican attacks.

Here’s what the great Rep. Senfronia Thompson told Congress today:

“I can tell you, just from my testimony as a child, my grandmother used to work and earn $2 a week...and out of those $2 a week she used to save pennies and nickels to be able to buy a poll tax.”

“I’m here because this is the seat of democracy, and my people who I represent have a right to be able to vote unabridged...And someday I’m hoping that I don’t have to keep fighting this fight -- that my grandchildren, my grandchildren’s children, will not have to keep repeating these struggles.”

Friend, right now, leaders like Rep. Thompson are moving heaven and earth to protect Texans. And we need to stand with them. Will you chip in $7 or whatever you can to the fight for voting rights today?

Friend,

Today, three of our Texas House Democrats are testifying in the halls of Congress. Representatives Senfronia Thompson, Nicole Collier, and Diego Bernal will speak in front of the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform -- in a hearing specifically about the attacks on voting rights in Texas.

Friend, I’ve said it before, and I’ll continue to say it: we are being heard. Our lawmakers have met with ally after ally to build our powerful coalition and beat back Texas Republicans’ attacks on our right to vote. Now, they’re testifying directly to the decision-makers who can protect our rights at the federal level.

I’ll be honest with you, Friend -- I’m tired of these attacks, as I’m sure you are. But I’ve never been more motivated. If you’re like me, and you’re ready to keep speaking up for the rights of Texans, the best thing you can do is help push our Texas Democratic fight forward. Chip in $7 before our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline:

Texas Democrats are the face of the national struggle for voting rights. Our communities are the frontline. And if the last few weeks have proven anything, it’s that we’re not going back. People of color, young people, and people with disabilities have fought too long in this country to see our right to vote stripped away. We will take this fight all the way to the end.

In service and hope,
