With our collective support and faith in this movement, Mission Quince will be the catalyst to mobilize our communities to join the fight for $15 all across the Rio Grande Valley.

Ground Game Texas

Friend, we want to introduce you to Abel Prado.

Abel is our new campaign manager in Mission, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, who will be leading our work for a $15/hour minimum wage. Before joining us, Abel spent years as a community activist who has been putting in the work, on-the-ground in the RGV. He’s worked on 37 campaigns at the federal, state, county, school board, and municipal levels and has shown time and again his commitment to building a better Texas for working families.

As we speak, Abel is working to build out a new innovative initiative called “Mission Quince” (which means fifteen) to engage hard-working Texans in the fight to bring a $15 living wage to our communities. In order to build out this key initiative, Abel is recruiting staff, putting together an organizing strategy, and building on his community experience to build a coalition of stakeholders and allies.

Friend, with our collective support and faith in this movement, this living wage campaign will be the catalyst to mobilize our communities to join the fight for $15 all across the Rio Grande Valley. But in order to get there, Abel needs our help. Can you make a donation of $10 or more today so we can help propel Mission Quince’s initiative forward to spearhead the fight for a living wage?
