Friend,

Today is Giving Tuesday, and I want to tell you why a gift to Ground Game Texas, even just a few dollars, could make a huge difference to democracy in Texas.

All across Texas, there are voices missing from our elections — unregistered folks, incorrectly registered folks, and millions more folks who’ve just lost faith in our leaders or the electoral process. Add on the fact that people in power are trying to make it harder than ever for voters to participate in democracy, our mission to reach the millions of eligible folks who don’t vote in Texas is more critical than ever.

The good news is that Ground Game Texas has discovered a powerful and proven way to inspire people to not only get on the voter rolls, but actually cast their ballots.

Since Spring 2021, we’ve started putting popular issues, like raising the minimum wage, onto local ballots across Texas — then building on-the-ground campaigns around those issues to build massive voter energy. And simply put, our strategy is working. Initial data from 5,500 petition signers in Austin shows that people who engage with Ground Game Texas are 126% more likely to vote than other eligible Texans — and when you compare inactive folks who’ve only voted in one of the last three elections, Ground Game Texas signers are more than TWICE as likely to vote!

Free and fair elections are under threat in Texas thanks to a new, extreme voter suppression law and partisan gerrymandering, but Ground Game Texas is working around-the-clock to protect and expand democracy by inspiring voters on the ground. With the right to vote at stake, I’m asking you to make a Giving Tuesday donation of $20 or more before midnight to support our critical work in Texas. [[link removed]]

If we achieve similar results to Austin in dozens more cities and towns across Texas, we could be turning out more than a hundred thousand new voters in the 2022 midterms.

But our vision stretches farther than the next election cycle, {Name}. A donation to Ground Game Texas is an investment in the work that actually fuels long-term political change — local organizing around popular issues, and face-to-face conversations year-round.

So please, if you’re able to, help us continue organizing and bringing new voices into our democracy in Texas by making a donation this Giving Tuesday. [[link removed]]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Julie Oliver
