Friend,
Last week, Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas GOP voted to enact S.B. 1 — one of the most anti-democratic voting restriction efforts our country has seen since the era of Jim Crow. This new law comes at a time in which our communities are in desperate need of stronger infrastructure in the wake of ever growing natural disasters, greater COVID-19 relief, and so much more.
But, friend, all hope is not lost. All across Texas there are millions of new voters who are looking to get involved in our progressive movement for transformative change. Voters from all ages and backgrounds are ready to mobilize and work together to transform the Texas electorate.
Instead of ensuring that one of the most treasured rights of our country is made accessible and feasible to all who are able, S.B. 1 — and it’s supporters in the Senate — has vowed to raise new barriers in attempts to protect their power in office and continue attacking our right to vote.
Friend, the truth is: we won’t be able to undo this egregious decision overnight — and most importantly, we won’t be able to do this work alone.
Thank you for your continued support and faith in our movement, friend.
In solidarity,
Team Ground Game Texas
