Jason,

Annie and Willie Nelson have a short video message for you:

You heard Willie: Let's jump in there and fight back, c'mon!

Help us fight back against GOP voter suppression by making a donation of any amount today. 100% of donations will go directly to supporting the brave Texas Democrats who are putting it all on the line to defend our voting rights.

Contribute $10

It's going to take the kind of political courage these Democrats showed to overcome the coordinated attack on democracy that we see across the country — from the big lie, to the insurrection attempt, to the effort to restrict the franchise in more than 40 different states.

Please, join Annie and Willie Nelson, and Amy and Beto in making a donation to show Texas House Democrats we have their back.

Thank you for your endless support as we move forward in the righteous fight for voting rights.

"We're here to fight. I hope we're not alone."

Help us show these Texas Democrats that they're not alone.

Powered By People

Jason,

Yesterday, the Texas House Democrats put it all on the line to defend our democracy. Instead of sitting back and watching Republicans pass a voter suppression bill against the will of the people — they broke quorum and flew to Washington, D.C.

For a second time, Texas House Democrats bravely killed a dangerous voter suppression bill. This time, they took the fight for voting rights directly to the U.S. Capitol to call on the Senate to show the same level of courage they did, and pass the For the People Act.

Jason, this is so important that Beto and Kate have already emailed you about it. But these Texas Democrats need our support now more than ever to keep up their fight in Washington, D.C. So we need to ask again: Can you chip in $10 or more to help provide food, lodging, and other resources to these brave Democrats?

Contribute $10

This was no easy decision. Texas House Democrats left their children, families, homes, and jobs to kill the voter suppression bill. Not only that, they now face possible arrest upon their return to Texas.

Texas Democrats are making incredible sacrifices to fight for our democracy. We need to show them they are not alone.

Please, donate $10 or more to show Texas House Democrats we have their back. Your donation will help ensure they can continue fighting for voting rights without worrying about the resources needed to stay in D.C.

Thank you for stepping up to defend our democracy, Jason.

Did you see Beto's email?

The Texas House Democrats are using their political power to stop voter suppression and lead on expanding voting rights.

Jason,

I wanted to make sure you saw this email from Beto about supporting our Texas House Democrats as they take the fight for voting rights to the nation's capital. They're putting a lot on the line for us — leaving behind their families and livelihoods to protect the right to vote for each and every one of us.

Can you chip in now to support them in this fight? Every cent you donate will go towards food, lodging, and other resources they need while they press the U.S. Senate to pass the For the People Act — the voting rights bill of our time.

Thanks for supporting Texas Democrats as they fight for us,

Dear Jason,

The Texas House Democrats are using their political power to stop voter suppression and lead on expanding voting rights.

They are about to take the extraordinary step of leaving the state and are making their way to our nation's capitol to ensure we can pass the For the People Act — the single greatest opportunity to protect the right to vote in America.

Can you pitch in now to make sure they have the resources to keep up the fight for as long as it lasts?

Building a blue Texas

Can you chip in to help us end the quarter strong so we can continue to fund our door knocks, phone banks, and voting rights efforts across Texas?

Powered By People

Jason, earlier this week, Kate emailed you about our average donation (just $18.75!) and hundreds of donors from across the country stepped up to show their support.

Today, I'm emailing you one more time before the end of the quarter to ask: Can you chip in $10 to help us end the quarter strong so we can continue to fund our door knocks, phone banks, and voting rights efforts across Texas?

Contribute $10

The past two elections have brought Texas closer to flipping blue than ever before. This was because of the constant organizing work of Powered by People volunteers.

From making over 76 million voter contact attempts to registering nearly 200,000 new voters, the groundwork for a blue Texas has been started by volunteers of all backgrounds. Now, we need to build on that groundwork for the elections to come.

Please, if you can, donate $10 or more to support Powered by People's work to register new voters, fight against voter suppression, and protect our democracy ahead of future elections.

We wouldn't be where we are today without your help, Jason.

Thank you,

Cynthia Cano

$18.75

We don't usually focus on fundraising, but I'm proud to share this number with you.

Powered By People

Jason, I don't usually reach out to you about fundraising. But today, I'm going to give you a sneak peek inside our ActBlue account.

A screenshot from ActBlue that says the average contribution is $18.75

That's right – one of the first things you would see after logging into our ActBlue is our average contribution amount. At just $18.75, our average donation shows just how people-powered our movement to protect voting rights is.

If you're able, could you make a donation of $18.75 or more today to help end this fundraising quarter strong? Your donation will go towards our efforts to expand and protect voting access.

Contribute $18.75

It means so much that our donations are coming from working folks who are committed to our mission. Just as our volunteers are placed around the country, we know that we have donors based in California to Texas to Wisconsin to Rhode Island. They all have in common a shared belief in the importance of fighting against the GOP's rampant acts of voter suppression.

In the past year alone, we've seen a deadly insurrection attempt on January 6 and the introduction of over 380 bills in 48 states to restrict voting rights. This moment requires teamwork, and Powered by People volunteers are already stepping up to the task in Texas.

Can you show your support for Powered by People's organizing work and make a donation today? We need support from folks like you to power our fight to save democracy.

Thanks for your support,

Kate Roberts

As Beto said

Powered by People will keep fighting for our democracy on all fronts, but we need your support.

Powered By People

Jason,

The For the People Act – the bill we urgently need in order to address voter suppression – is currently in jeopardy because of the Senate filibuster. This week, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans blocked the bill from even being debated on the Senate floor.

But no matter what happened in the Senate this week or what will happen next week, we won't give in or give up.

Beto and Powered by People volunteers from across Texas are keeping up the fight. We're knocking on doors and talking to voters, becoming Volunteer Deputy Registrars (VDRs), and registering every new voter we meet in our communities.

Jason, if you want to be a part of this on-the-ground work to register hundreds of thousands of new voters, flip Texas blue, and generate momentum around voting rights nationwide, will you chip in $10 or more now?

Contribute $10

Our democracy is at stake and Texas is at the center of this fight. In the past year alone, we've seen a deadly insurrection attempt on January 6 and the introduction of over 380 bills in 48 states to restrict voting rights. In Texas, Republicans are working to restrict our right to vote – but ignoring the issues that matter to Texans, like fixing the power grid.

This moment requires leadership, teamwork, and grit. Powered by People volunteers are already stepping up to the task in Texas. Now, we need our national leaders to rise to the occasion and abolish the filibuster. Simply put, it's the filibuster or democracy.

Powered by People will keep fighting for our democracy on all fronts, but we need your support, Jason. As Beto said: Keep the faith, never give up the fight, and let's go out there and win this thing.

Please, donate $10 or more to support Powered by People's work to register new voters, fight against voter suppression, and protect our democracy.

Thanks for your support,
