Stand with Texas Democrats Fighting for Democracy

Texas Democrats are taking a courageous stand — and they’re paying the price to protect our democracy.

When Republicans moved to ram through a rigged redistricting map under pressure from Donald Trump, more than 50 Democratic lawmakers left the state to block the vote. With their bold action, they stopped a dangerous power grab that could give Republicans up to five new House seats — all by silencing Black, Latino, and progressive voices across Texas.

Now, they’re facing $500-a-day fines, threats of arrest, and intense political pressure. But as Rep. Ramon Romero Jr. said, “I’ll pay that price for America.” These brave lawmakers are showing what real leadership looks like — refusing to back down in the face of intimidation.

Add your name to stand with the Texas Democrats and thank them for defending fair maps, free elections, and the future of our democracy!
