Transparency:

John, we need your help. To be transparent, our fundraising slowed down big time after the election. As a result, we started 2025 behind – and with less than 10 days until Trump returns to office, we’re hoping you can help us catch up today. We’re politely asking for your support to help …

Supporting our neighbors in Los Angeles

John, Right now, there are so many images of blazing fires in Los Angeles across the news and social media. At least five people have lost their lives and thousands have been displaced due to these LA wildfires. When tragedy strikes, it’s up to all of us to come together to support those wh…

January 6th

John, Today is the four year anniversary of the attempted coup that led to the deaths of five people including a police officer. Now, we’re just 14 days away from Donald Trump returning to the White House. He’s setting his sights on dragging our country backwards on issues from reproductive…

I hold the Uvalde parents who lost their children in the Robb Elementary massacre in 2022 in the very highest esteem.

Dear John, I hold the Uvalde parents who lost their children in the Robb Elementary massacre in 2022 in the very highest esteem. They’ve experienced what is, for most of us, unimaginable tragedy. And instead of shrinking from the world or the politics that have so badly failed them, they hav…

This work is a love letter to Texas

John, Our work has never been about one election, or one candidate. We’re focused on building the long-term changes to the Texas electorate that will outlast any one candidate or campaign cycle. And regardless of what any pundit says, it’s working. Since 2019, we’ve registered hundreds of t…

The value of this work

We won’t sugarcoat it, John: The outcome of the 2024 presidential outcome was tough. We feel it too — we put our blood, sweat, and tears into this work. And still, Donald Trump — who does not even pretend to respect our differences or to understand that we are all created equal — is headed …
