Friend,
Instead of attacking the COVID-19 virus, Governor Abbott is attacking our kids.
Yesterday, the Texas Supreme Court supported Governor Abbott's executive order which bans schools from requiring masks. Under Governor Abbott’s rule, schools that institutes a mask mandate will be subject to a fine of up to $1,000.
We will NOT let our kids’ lives be put at risk. That’s why Ground Game Texas PAC is partnering with Safe Schools For All and People First Future to launch a bail fund to help local Texas school districts pay any fines incurred from defying Gov. Abbott’s order.

The threat of a $1,000 fine is preventing many school districts from implementing universal masking policies — even though we know these policies save lives, and are especially important for children under 12 who cannot receive a vaccination.
And now the Texas Supreme Court indicated that it will not support counties and school districts when they require masks indoors. So it's up to us to support our schools and local leaders when they do the right thing to protect our kids.
Please, chip in $10 or any amount you can today to help Texas schools keep kids safe from COVID-19.
Thank you for meeting this moment with us,
Julie Oliver & Mike Siegel
