John,
April 16 marked 100 days since I stepped into the role of President and Executive Director at the Texas Freedom Network [[link removed]] . A hundred days of listening, learning, grieving, strategizing—and most of all, fighting.
I spent my 100th day at the Capitol on Tuesday, rallying alongside many of you against SB 2, a school voucher scheme that passed despite overwhelming opposition. Less than a day later, lawmakers co-opted what should've been a solemn moment of respect to desecrate the memory of our co-founder, Cecile Richards. They tried to erase her in the very year we lost her and in the year we celebrate TFN’s 30th anniversary.
These last 100 days [[link removed]] have made one thing clear: the attacks are escalating, and the stakes are higher than ever. But while we grieve what's been lost, we are not broken. We are awake. We are clear-eyed about what we’re up against, and even clearer about the future we’re fighting for.

I didn’t come to TFN to play it safe. I came to help usher in our next era—with bold vision, unwavering integrity, and a fire that won’t dim. The road ahead will require us to make hard decisions. But we will meet those moments with clarity, courage, and a deep commitment to grace and dignity—because that’s what this movement deserves.
We were made for this moment, John. Let’s rise.
