A New Year means new possibilities and new opportunities for progressives, Democrats, Independents, and even common sense Republicans to win elections at the local level in area cities and independent school districts. 

Outside of our region, the new Texas Legislature was sworn in this week in Austin and a corrupt convicted felon will be sworn in as president next week in DC.

This month, we invite you to bring a friend, socialize with area Democrats, and write postcards to strong D voters in our area, and ask them to join our work to elect dedicated servant leaders in elections in 2025!

November 2024 may be our last election. Join us as we write postcards to our neighbors asking them to vote Democratic for our freedoms and our futures—the freedom to choose our leaders, to control our own bodies and futures, and to work and live in communities safe from crime and pollution.

Help us focus our voters on the economy, our freedoms, and democracy, while the well-funded disinformation and anger machine works overtime to shape the narrative of this general election with racist ‘invasion’ and ‘poisoned blood’ language.

We’ll meet 4th Thursdays and hold postcards to send in the fall! See you there and bring a friend!

IT’S ALMOST TIME TO VOTE! No, 2024 hasn’t come early, but just because it’s not the general election yet doesn’t mean we don’t get to flex our civic muscles and help shape the direction of our cities and state!
