Spending nearly $400,000 just to defend our basic right to free speech.

John, We’re going to be fully transparent here. In the last few weeks, we’ve had to spend nearly $400,000 fighting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s abuse of office in court: On Friday, the Abbott-appointed court unanimously ruled against Paxton and immediately removed his restraini…

Good news and not-so-good news

John, We have some good news and bad news: The good: We beat Ken Paxton in court on Friday! It’s important to note that the judges on the court were all appointed by Greg Abbott. They unanimously ruled against Paxton and immediately removed his restraining order from our work. The …

big news from the weekend

Did you see the big news, John? Here’s what went down: First, we took Ken Paxton to court over his political witch hunt as he did everything he could to shut Powered by People down, stop us from speaking out, and keep us from registering and turning out voters. Then, we won with state a…

I’m running

We’ve got a lot more work to do, and I’m sure as hell not going to let MAGA extremists flip this state red. John, I wanted you to hear it from me first: I’m running to continue serving as Governor of Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, we’ve cut child poverty, expanded labor rights, invested in…

This won’t be the last time we prove them wrong

John, We’re halfway through the month, and our end-of-quarter deadline is fast approaching. We need to stay on track — not just to meet our goals, but to keep building the grassroots movement that Texas deserves. Right now, we’re facing a serious challenge: Attorney General Ken Paxton is…

Grassroots power > political lawsuits

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 ou…

Beto hit the road hard.

This summer, Beto hit the road hard. More than 30 events. 11 states. Thousands of people coming together in small towns and big cities alike. From Amarillo to Houston, from Oklahoma to Virginia, everywhere he went the mission was the same: listen, organize, and fight for the future we des…

Paxton picked the wrong fight

John, Ken Paxton is doing everything he can to silence those of us who dare to stand up, speak the truth, and fight for what’s right. You’ve probably seen what he’s been up to lately. After years of corruption, lies, indictments, and using the power of his office to target political enem…

Ken Paxton is trying to bankrupt us

But Beto is not going to be intimidated. John, In about the last two weeks, Powered by People has already had to spend more than $300,000 in legal fees to defend ourselves against Ken Paxton’s political witch hunt. That’s his strategy: bury us in court, drain our resources, attack a polit…

Hoping to reach you before midnight

John, We know it’s late on a Sunday, so we’ll keep this short. We’re so close to reaching our end of month fundraising goal and we need your support right now to help us get there. This month Ken Paxton has relentlessly attacked Powered by People and Beto, but we remain undeterred in ou…

Please read and forward: They're trying to make an example out of us

John, For fighting the attempt to gerrymander five congressional seats in Texas, I have been accused of bribery by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. I also face criminal contempt charges related to his bribery accusation. And if that were not enough, Paxton is now trying to shut down the …

Tomorrow’s deadline →

John, Tomorrow at midnight is our end-of-month fundraising deadline, and we’re still short of our $15,000 goal. This goal isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It’s about making sure we can show up—in every corner of Texas—to empower voters, support volunteers, and keep building the mo…
