John,

For the past 27 years, the Texas Freedom Network has been a champion for progressive policies that defend the rights – including the right to vote – of the people of Texas.

Our state’s current leadership has decided to take a frightening and radical turn to the right that threatens democracy itself. Now, in this critical election year, our democracy is on the line. On this Presidents’ Day, a day that is about leadership, I am proud to announce we are launching the Defend Democracy Fund.

act.tfn.org/a/ddfweb?ms=ddflaunchemail1 [act.tfn.org/a/ddfweb?ms=ddflaunchemail1]

Here is just a sampling of what we are up against. In just the last year, top elected officials took an undemocratic and radical turn to the right, and have:

*
Passed
a
sweeping
anti-voter
law
that
will
make
it
harder
to
vote
*
Barred
local
governments
and
private
businesses
from
taking
common-sense
measures
to
save
lives
and
stem
the
spread
of
COVID
*
Practically
banned
abortion
by
turning
over
Texans’
reproductive
freedom
to
legal
vigilantes
*
Turned
kids
into
political
punching
bags
by
passing
a
discriminatory
law
targeting
transgender
youth
in
public
schools
*
Launched
an
attack
on
education
and
the
First
Amendment
by
seeking
to
ban
hundreds
of
books
from
schools
and
community
libraries.

With so much at stake, we’re depending on you to help us in 2022.
