24/7 — 365

But in order to keep up the momentum we need to shift the state of our political systems, we need an all-hands-on-deck approach 24/7 — 365. Friend,  Yesterday, we shared with you our plan to get Team Ground Game Texas’s fundraising back on track so we can keep pace with the growth of this move…

We want to be honest about this

We can’t slow down in Texas. Not right now. Friend,  As a grassroots organization, one of our core values at Ground Game Texas is to always be transparent with you and your fellow supporters. That’s why, ahead of our mid-October fundraising goal, I want to share with you that we’ve seen our on…

Turning our attention to the Rio Grande Valley

Our movement has a true opportunity to transform Texas. All we need to do is put in the work. Friend, our canvassing operation is growing.  Over the course of our four-month signature collecting drive, we’ve been able to collect over 33,000 signatures to put into our database. With these signa…

How one Texas city has been silenced again and again

These pictures say it all. Friend,  There’s a new electoral map being pushed by Texas Republicans, and it does exactly what you’d expect — eliminate competitive seats, ignore the growth and influence of communities of color, and further rig the system in their favor. I want to show you exactl…

From the ground up

We are going to fight, city by city, to make sure “one job is enough” and that workers share in the prosperity of this great state. Friend, This summer, we launched the first Ground Game Texas program in Austin, and it has proven to be a great success. We’ve collected over 30,000 petition sign…

Will you help us transform Texas?

We can’t do this without you. Friend, our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is just a few hours away.  Here’s why that matters to you, and to all of us: There’s no sugarcoating what’s happening in Texas, friend. SB 1 is one of the worst voter suppression bills since the Jim Crow era, and Go…

This work has never been more important. Hey friend, it’s Wendy Davis, and I want to tell you why I am so proud to serve on the advisory board of Ground Game Texas, and why this work has never been more important. Many people first learned my name when I led a 13-hour filibuster against an ant…

The most crucial way we can fight back in Texas

We can’t slow down right now. Not with these radical attacks on the right to vote. Friend, we'll cut right to it. Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas GOP recently enacted one of the most anti-democratic voter suppression bills our country has seen since the Jim Crow era. Instead of ensuring that on…

Not-so-fun fact about Governor Abbott

This is why building Texas turnout matters. Friend, here’s a not-so-fun fact about Governor Greg Abbott — you know, the guy who called two special legislative sessions just to pass his voter suppression bill and wants to ban mask mandates in Texas schools... Turns out Abbott only won his guber…

It’s time to take back Texas

The strongest way we can win back Texas is through growing our voter turnout. Friend,  For years, Texas has had to sit by and watch out-of-touch, multi-millionaire politicians prioritize their lucrative financial growth over the needs of their constituents. Yet election cycle after election cy…

Our response to voter suppression in Texas

You’re part of our winning formula

Texas is on the verge of political transformation. Friend, Early this morning, the Texas House passed S.B. 1, one of the most extreme voter suppression bills to be introduced in any state legislature. It was a dark moment for democracy in Texas — but our fight is from over. Ground Game Texas i…

Voter suppression bill S.B. 1 is moving forward in Texas

Our fight is more urgent than ever. Friend,  Last month, Texas Democrats took a bold stand for democracy by fleeing the state to break quorum and block a dangerous voter suppression bill, S.B. 1.  But Governor Abbott and the GOP doubled down on their anti-democratic agenda — and now, with quo…
