Keep Texas Democrats in the Fight to Stop Trump’s Gerrymander

Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are trying to ram through a racially gerrymandered congressional map that would steal five congressional seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Over 50 Texas House Democrats have taken the extraordinary step of leaving the state to prevent a quorum, blocking the vote and stopping Trump’s plan cold.


Republicans have responded with civil arrest warrants, daily fines of $500 per lawmaker, threats of removal from office, and even the involvement of the FBI at the urging of Senator John Cornyn. The goal is clear: break their will and force them back so the map can be passed.


We’re not letting that happen.


Every dollar you give will be split between our campaign and Powered by People PAC that, as reported by the Houston Chronicle, has pledged that “every dollar pitched in” goes toward helping Texas Democrats remain out of state so they can continue to resist.


This is about more than Texas. It’s about defending democracy from a coordinated GOP power grab. If they succeed here, they’ll use the same playbook in state after state.


Chip in a split donation to keep Texas Democrats in the fight, stop Trump’s gerrymandering, and protect our democracy now.
