The Fight Over Texas’s Future Just Escalated
Greg Abbott is helping Donald Trump redraw the rules so voters don’t get to decide who’s in charge—politicians do.
Right now, Texas is in a political standoff that could shape our elections for years.
While millions of Texans are still rebuilding after historic floods, Greg Abbott is using a special legislative session not to help those families, but to redraw the state’s voting maps at Donald Trump’s request. The proposed gerrymandered map is a blatant power grab designed to tilt elections before voters even head to the polls and lock in MAGA control of Congress.
That’s why a group of Democratic lawmakers made a bold move: they left the state to break quorum, stopping the redistricting process cold.
Since then, the threats have only escalated. Donald Trump and Senator John Cornyn have talked about using the FBI to track down and arrest these lawmakers. A bomb threat forced them to evacuate their hotel. All because they stood up to defend our democracy.
This isn’t about partisan politics—it’s about whether everyday Texans still have a voice in our government. And whether we’ll speak up and fight back. The time to act is now.

Democratic legislators left the state to protect your vote. Now it’s your turn to thank them.
Governor Abbott’s redistricting scheme is nothing short of a power grab designed to lock in MAGA control and silence millions of Texans. But this week, Democratic lawmakers in the Texas Legislature took bold action to stop it.
By leaving the state and breaking quorum, they prevented a rushed vote on gerrymandered voting maps. They put their jobs on the line to protect your voice and defend fair representation for all Texans.
This kind of courage deserves our support.

Call to Thank the Lawmakers Who Stood Up for Democracy
While Greg Abbott and Donald Trump try to rig Texas’s voting maps, a group of courageous Democratic lawmakers did something bold. They walked out. They broke quorum. They left the state to stop a redistricting power grab designed to silence Texas voters and hand even more power to MAGA extremists.
Now, they’re under attack.
In the last 24 hours, Donald Trump and Senator John Cornyn have publicly discussed using the FBI to hunt down and arrest the lawmakers who fled the state to protect your vote. Just this morning, Texas democratic lawmakers had to evacuate their hotel because of a bomb threat. Let that sink in: they’re threatening and intimidating elected officials for doing the right thing.
These lawmakers didn’t run from the fight. They stood up for fair representation. For democracy. For us. And it’s time to return the favor.
Make a call now to thank them. Tell them we see them. We support them. And we’ve got their backs every step of the way.
