I want to tell you a personal story…

John, Growing up, my great aunt got really sick. She lived in Travis County with her brother and sisters on a piece of land we called the Rancho. Some of my fondest memories with my family took place there. Their home had no running water, no electricity, and there was an o…

What you helped build in Texas this year

John, As 2025 comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the work we’ve built together — and the communities we’ve organized alongside. This year, Texans showed that when we stand together, we can push back against state overreach, build new coalitions, and lead with courag…

We need your help with a critical step in our 2026 strategy!

John, As we prepare for our 2026 campaigns, we’re doing something that is essential to winning: polling and message testing with the Texans we’re organizing. This isn’t optional — it’s core to how we make sure our campaigns reflect the real needs and priorities of working-…

We just beat a billion-dollar surveillance company, again!

John, Last night, San Marcos proved again what Texans can do when we refuse to be silent. A billion-dollar surveillance corporation came into our community expecting an easy, quiet renewal. A rubber stamp. Another contract slipped through the cracks that would track our famil…

Before the holiday, a small note of gratitude.

John, Before everyone settles into the long weekend, we wanted to pause for a moment and send our gratitude your way. This year has asked so much of our communities — courage, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to each other. Through it all, people like you have shown up i…

A huge win today — but the fight isn’t over!

John, Today, a federal court blocked Texas’s new congressional map — the one designed behind closed doors to silence Black, Latino, and working-class voters. For once, the courts agreed with what Texans have been screaming for years: we deserve a fair say in our own democracy…

Congratulations to Taylor Burge and Claudia Zapata, City Council Winners!

John, If you don’t like something, change it. This election cycle, two progressive champions took that advice to heart. In Lockhart, Taylor Burge, a long-time community advocate, watched last year as a 4-3 majority of her city council ignored the will of the people and refuse…

The scariest thing in Texas this Halloween 👻

John, This Halloween, we don’t need haunted houses to feel scared, our own state leaders have turned Texas into a nightmare for working families. They’ve banned basic freedoms of speech, gutted local democracy, and wasted our tax dollars on cruelty instead of care. They’ve c…

Thanks to Trump, 3.5 Texans Are Set to Lose Food Assistance

Abbott’s only investment: harm.
