John,
Texas Democrats are packing their bags, getting on planes, and leaving the state. They're leaving their homes and families behind in a last-ditch, desperate effort to stop Abbott’s illegal map from going into effect.
It’s a courageous, historic move to protect our democracy.
And what is Governor Greg Abbott's reaction?
To throw an authoritarian fit.
Abbott claims these lawmakers—who are upending their lives to prevent a devastating act of voter suppression—are “abandoning their posts.” He's threatening to charge them with felonies and expel them from their positions.
Abbott’s tantrum tells us everything we need to know: He's terrified of the people of Texas having their voices heard.
The quorum break is a brave, temporary tactic. But tactics alone won't save us. We can't rely on last-ditch efforts in Austin to protect our rights forever.
The real, permanent solution isn't in the Capitol building. It's in our neighborhoods, on our doorsteps, and in our communities.
That’s the work Ground Game Texas does every single day.
Our organizers are on the ground building the power that will make their fights winnable. We are:
- Registering new voters in counties the political establishment has ignored for decades.
- Organizing year-round to build lasting relationships and progressive infrastructure.
- Engaging Texans on the issues that matter, from public safety and jobs to the very democracy that's under attack.
Greg Abbott’s rage isn't just about the quorum break. It’s about his fear of a Texas where every eligible citizen is registered, engaged, and voting. He knows that a fully activated Texas electorate is a threat to his entire political project.
Let's prove him right.
Will you rush a donation of $25, $50, or whatever you can afford right now to fuel our grassroots organizing and build the power that makes leaders like Greg Abbott truly afraid?
The quorum break buys us time. Your support for Ground Game Texas builds us a future.
This is how we fight back. Not just by stopping one bad bill, but by building a movement so powerful they can't ignore us, arrest us, or legislate us out of existence. This is how we ensure the next time Greg Abbott has a fit, it's because the people of Texas have voted him and his allies out of power for good.
Thank you for being in this fight.
In solidarity,
The team at Ground Game Texas
