 Hey John, did you see our endorsement announcement last week? We endorsed Jessica Cisneros for Texas' 28th Congressional District! We're really fired up to finish what we started in 2020, but we're going to need your help tonight to kick off this endorsement with the power of our movement. The plan for tonight's call is:
Hope to see y'all there!
---------- Forwarded message --------- John, today we're announcing something BIG... We're so excited to announce our endorsement of Jessica Cisneros for Texas' 28th Congressional District! 🗣
Jessica Cisneros is a young immigration lawyer and a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants from Laredo, Texas, and she’s running to unseat Representative Henry Cuellar (TX-28), “Big Oil’s favorite Democrat.” Our movement was proud to support Jessica Cisneros in nearly defeating Henry Cuellar in 2020, bringing her within just 2,000 votes from victory. That’s why we’re excited to help finish what we started and seal the deal together in 2022! But, to finish the job, we need to all do our part to elect a Green New Deal champion in Texas. Can you join us on Monday, November 22nd for a mass call with Jessica Cisneros to launch our 2022 endorsement, hear from Jessica herself, and plug in to our plan to win? As Texans froze to death during the Texas Freeze last winter, Henry Cuellar spent his winter cozying up to the people responsible for the climate disaster: fossil fuel corporations. While he left communities to fend for themselves, Jessica fought hard for the wellbeing of her community because she knows firsthand the countless ways politicians like Cuellar have failed the people they’re supposed to serve. And during Cuellar’s time in office, he has continuously catered to fossil fuel executives and corporations over his constituents. Cuellar has criticized historic, life-saving climate investments in Biden’s Build Back Better Act, and called for more investment in natural gas in the bill 🙄. And in the 2022 cycle alone, Cuellar has received over $100,000 from fossil fuel corporations. South Texans deserve a representative who will fight for them like their lives and planet depend on it — not another corporate sellout. That’s why we need you at our mass call with Jessica Cisneros on Monday, November 22nd to learn how you can help elect a Green New Deal champion for Texas. Together, we’ll elect Jessica Cisneros to Congress. In solidarity, Joel |
