Week after week, we’ve been making the trip to Austin — testifying, meeting with legislators, and showing up in every committee room we can. Our communication strategy is stronger than ever, and because of your faithfulness and persistence, we are seeing real results for Texas kids.

These victories don’t happen without you. Every call you make, every email you send, and every time you show up matters. Please — don’t grow weary. We are in the final stretch, and our collective voice is turning the tide. Let’s keep pressing in.
