Did you see the news, friend?
This week Ground Game Texas turned in more than 30,000 signatures to put marijuana decriminalization and a ban on no-knock police warrants on the ballot in Austin.
This is a major victory for the people of Austin -- so we wanted to share some of the news highlights from this week's announcement. But first, we have more exciting news: after the success in Austin, we’re also launching marijuana reform efforts in Killeen and San Marcos!
We believe we can decriminalize marijuana across the state of Texas. But to do that, we need your help to reach voters. Can you pitch in $10 or $25 today to help us decriminalize marijuana?
Thanks to supporters like you, the people of Austin now have the power to affect change in their community. We’re going to spend the next few months talking to Austin voters and getting out the vote. But it’s already clear our work is getting noticed. Take a look at some of the news clips from this week:

We’re already hard at work talking to Austin voters and getting out the vote to pass this initiative. And we’re launching similar efforts across the state of Texas. We can make real, positive change for Texas -- but we need your help to be successful.
Thank you for being a part of this team,
