I wish it were not so, but we are still in a legal battle with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
He sued me and Powered by People last year to try to stop me from speaking against the Republican gerrymander of five Texas congressional districts and to stop our organization from doing the effective registration and turnout work that could spell his defeat in November’s senate contest.
While we have won at the district and appeals court level (where the Republican justices reprimanded Paxton for his attack on my First Amendment rights), we are not out of the woods yet.
More court dates and more attacks from Paxton.
And that means more money that we must spend to defend ourselves and take the fight to him. We must win both so that we can continue to work and so that it is clear that our government cannot intimidate or silence the voices it disagrees with.
These fights have cost us more than $500,000 so far.
Please make a contribution today to ensure we have the resources to finally defeat Ken Paxton in court and continue our important organizing work on the ground.
Thank you,
Beto
