This is where the fight is headed

John, Earlier this week, we shared why surveillance in Texas is becoming permanent infrastructure — tied to data centers, resource extraction, and a deepening water crisis. Here’s the part that matters most right now: These decisions are being made quickly, often thro…

Surveillance is becoming infrastructure — and it’s draining Texas💧

John, Surveillance in Texas is not just about policing. It is becoming permanent infrastructure. Across the state, cities are being pushed to adopt ALPR systems, AI-driven policing tools, and surveillance platforms that depend on massive data storage, constant processing…

Final hours.

John, This is it — the final hours to make a year-end gift to support Texas organizing. We’re close to our goal, but we need your help to get there before midnight. Every dollar you give today strengthens our work in 2026 — our organizing, our leadership development, and o…

24 Hours Left — Let’s Finish Strong

John, We’re entering the final 24 hours of the year, and we’re still closing the gap on our 2025 goal. This isn’t about numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s about whether we can show up strong in 2026 — in Houston, in the Rio Grande Valley, in small towns and big cities where Tex…

We’re getting close — can you help us finish strong?

John, We’re in the final stretch of 2025, and we’re making real progress toward closing our year-end fundraising gap — but we’re not there yet. Your support helps us protect local democracy, train leaders, and build working-class organizing power across Texas. If you can, p…

Sending you warmth this week

John, As we enter this holiday week, we’re thinking about the power of community — about neighbors supporting neighbors, about people standing up for each other, and about the hope that comes from organizing together. Your support helps build that kind of community all acro…

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…

John, We’re in the final hours of Giving Tuesday, and we’re getting close to our goal — but we still need your help. Every dollar raised today helps us organize in communities across Texas, train new leaders, defend local democracy, and build the working-class power our state …

Texans are organizing — will you stand with us today?

John, It’s Giving Tuesday — and today, we’re raising the resources we need to fuel our organizing across Texas in 2026. Ground Game Texas is one of the few organizations in the state building long-term, working-class power at the local level — neighborhood by neighborhood, v…

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…

Honoring truth. Giving thanks for community.

John, We honor the communities who continue to survive, resist, and lead — here in Texas and across the country. And in that same spirit of truth, we want to express our deep gratitude for you. Your commitment and support have fueled everything we’ve been able to build this …

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…

Texans are ready for a change

John, Across Texas and the country, this month’s elections have sent a clear message: voters are tired of the same old empty promises from entrenched politicians. From exciting city council victories in Central Texas like Taylor Burge and Claudia Zapata, a seismic shift is hap…
