Applaud Beto O’Rourke for Backing Texas Democrats’ Fight

When Texas Democrats took the extraordinary step of leaving the state to block Trump-backed gerrymandering, Beto O’Rourke and his grassroots movement, Powered by People, stepped up in a big way.

Beto’s PAC has been a key supporter of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, helping cover essential costs like lodging and transportation so lawmakers could continue their stand outside Texas — and outside the reach of GOP threats and arrests. His message is clear: “We will have the backs of these heroic state lawmakers for as long as it takes to stop Trump’s power grab.”

This support comes at a critical moment. Texas Republicans, urged on by Trump, are pushing a map that could hand them five extra congressional seats by silencing the voices of Black, Latino, and progressive Texans. Meanwhile, Democrats are facing $500-a-day fines, legal threats, and relentless political attacks for defending democracy.

Add your name to applaud Beto O’Rourke and Powered by People for standing with Texas Democrats, fueling the fight against gerrymandering, and defending the principle that voters should choose their leaders — not the other way around.
