John,

In April, the results of the 2020 census came out, showing that since
Texas gained the most residents of any state in the past decade, it would
gain two new congressional seats.

Here's where things stand now:

Texas Republicans are taking every measure imaginable to unfairly shore up
their power and weaken the votes of young, diverse, and Democratic-leaning
Texans. John,
unfortunately, this isn't a surprise –
the Texas GOP has been becoming more extreme for years. That's why Powered
by People has been doing the work to counteract their attacks on
democracy.

Our Texas volunteers are registering thousands of new voters in their
communities — and on the national level, we're calling on the federal
government to pass the For the People Act to protect our voting rights and
ban gerrymandering.

If we're going to fight back against the GOP's racist gerrymandering and
protect the right to vote, we need all hands on deck. [ [link removed] ]Please, chip in
now to support our work to register hundreds of thousands of new voters,
elect Democrats, and protect our democracy.

Over the last decade, Texas has gained nearly two million Hispanic
residents and more than 500,000 Black residents – but even with the
addition of two new congressional districts, the new GOP-drawn Texas
congressional map will not have a single majority-Latino or majority-Black
congressional district.

In addition, the GOP doubled the number of safe Republican districts and
cut the number of competitive districts from 12 to one. And the same
pattern is playing out in state legislative districts where Republicans
are desperately trying to stay in power after passing an extreme voter
suppression law and six-week abortion ban.

Thanks to the constant organizing work of Powered by People volunteers,
the past two elections have brought Texas closer to flipping blue than
ever before. Now, we need to fight back against the GOP's latest voter
suppression schemes and flip Texas blue once and for all.

Powered by People is doing the work right
now to elect Democrats in 2022 and beyond. Will you donate
$3 or more so we can continue our door knocks, phone banks,
and voter registration events across Texas?

Thank you for being a part of this,

Kate Roberts
