boosting turnout in Texas’s RGV

Democrats can’t afford to lose in Texas’s RGV. Help us organize and get out the vote. Friend, Democrats lost ground in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley in 2020. Republicans are spending millions to flip South Texas red and bring Latino voters to their side. We absolutely can’t let that happen. That’s…

A make-or-break moment for abortion rights

We’re working to defeat politicians threatening reproductive rights. Can you help us? Friend, The right to an abortion is in jeopardy right now. In Texas lawmakers passed legislation in September effectively making abortion illegal. And the Trump-stacked Supreme Court may soon overturn Roe v. …

THIS is how we flip Texas

Stacey Abrams showed us how we can flip a red state blue. Can you help us do that in Texas? Friend, In 2018 Stacey Abrams lost her race for governor of Georgia by less than two percentage points. But she rolled up her sleeves, got to work, and helped elect two Georgia Democrats to the U.S. Sen…

Going on offense against Abbott and his extremist policies

Your representative isn’t doing anything to turn out the vote? OK, we will. Friend, If I asked you which areas of Texas we need to prioritize politically, my guess is you wouldn’t say cities where Democrats win Congressional races year in and year out. After all, we like to think of these are…

We could have stopped the voter suppression bill and the abortion ban

A losing margin this small is a tragedy. And a call to action. Friend,  Did you know that Texas Democrats lost the state house by less than 23,000 votes across 9 winnable races? Imagine if we had fueled a ground game that delivered those 23,000 votes. We would have avoided a bill stripping wom…
