John,

Because we’ve dared to stand up, speak the truth, and build real grassroots power in communities all across Texas, we find ourselves having to fight the full force of the Texas Attorney General’s office. Ken Paxton is doing everything he can to shut us down, stop us from speaking out, and keep Powered by People from registering and turning out the voters who will decide the future of our country.

Over the last month we’ve spent nearly $400,000 in legal fees fighting him in courts in Tarrant County, El Paso County, the 15th District and the Texas Supreme Court.

He’s tried to freeze our assets and even threatened to put me in jail.

This has nothing to do with the law. It’s a political witch hunt — a dangerous attempt to silence us and crush democracy in Texas. But we won’t be silent and we won’t stop fighting for a government of, by, and for the people of Texas.

We’ve faced long odds before, and every time people with the courage of their convictions have stepped up and carried this movement forward.

Now I’m asking: if you’re with us in this work, will you contribute $3 to Powered by People today to help us stand strong, fight back against Paxton’s abuse of power, and keep organizing in every part of Texas?
