Friend, our canvassing operation is growing.
Over the course of our four-month signature collecting drive, we’ve been able to collect over 33,000 signatures to put into our database. With these signatures we can continue identifying people who need to register or update their voter registration before the 2022 midterms.
Our ability to organize, mobilize, and advocate for true representation and transformative policies in Texas is dependent on the resources we have and the funds we raise. Friend, if we want to continue making strides towards our ultimate goal of transforming the Texas electorate, we need to ensure that our momentum doesn't slow down. So if you are able, please make a contribution today to our movement so we can continue this much needed work all year long.
Now that we’re almost done with our Austin initiative, we’re turning our attention towards the Rio Grande Valley to advocate for a substantial increase in the minimum wage.
The minimum wage in Texas has not been raised from $7.25 for the last 11 years — and friend, we all know that $7.25 an hour is not a livable wage. As we work to call for more resources from the federal government, we need to ensure that everyone, not just the privileged few, are provided key benefits and a livable wage that allows them to thrive, not just survive.
Our movement has a true opportunity to bring key improvements all across Texas, especially when we work in tandem with local organizations who are putting in the work for this change. In the upcoming months, we’ll be working on a new initiative in collaboration with grassroots organizations in the Rio Grande Valley to help in the fight to raise the Texas minimum wage and support working families.
Onward together,
Team Ground Game Texas
