Dear John,
In 2023, our state’s far-right leaders eagerly embraced authoritarianism and did everything they could to divide us, but we did not let them win. Instead, our powerful grassroots movement came together and created community and joy in the face of these attacks—our radical acts of resistance. In addition to registering thousands of people across Texas to vote, we:
-
advocated for truthful, censorship-free curricula and textbooks and provided activists with the tools and tactics to secure education quality and equity for future generations
- organized clergy and people of faith to lift their voices against harmful legislation and expanded our Reproductive Freedom Congregations initiative
- mobilized young people around a youth justice agenda and fought to recover polling locations and access to the ballot on college campuses across our state
...and much more. |
The unmatched fierceness of this movement keeps me going. Thousands of advocates, community members, clergy, congregants, young Texans, and allies flocked to the Capitol each time we called upon them, and thousands more showed up virtually by calling and emailing their legislators and signing our petitions. Through it all, it is our strength that carries me into 2024. Thank you for making our vital work possible. With supporters like you alongside us, I know we will never back down from this fight. With gratitude, |
