🌟 Y’all, we just dropped off 50,000 signatures with the city of Dallas to get Marijuana Decriminalization on the ballot this November! 🎉✨ This couldn’t have been achieved without the relentless efforts of our amazing workers, volunteers, supporters, and the entire community.

You’re being watched. 👀

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) track every car that passes.

➡️ Data is sold to private companies like Flock Safety
➡️ ICE & federal agencies use it to hunt & deport immigrants

The only secure data is the data never collected.

We're curious as to why three Democratic State Senators, all of whom represent cities with marijuana decriminalization ordinances, would have voted for new legislation that will take that local control away? @JudithZaffirini @TxChuy @CesarJBlanco

[GroundGameTX @GroundGameTX]

HB 4283 is political sabotage.

It gives Ken Paxton unchecked power to kill your city’s laws, block bonds, and silence voters — no judge, no vote, no limits.

Texans didn’t elect a king.
📞 Tell these reps: VOTE NO.

🌟 We’re gearing up to bring the fight for marijuana decriminalization to Kyle, Texas — one of the fastest-growing cities in the state.

HB 524 is a power grab.

Ken Paxton wants the power to veto local elections, silencing voters & stripping communities of their rights. Texans showed up BIG to fight back:
🔥 3,850 emails sent
🔥 Texans testified

What did Rep. Tepper say about his bill?...

[GroundGameTX @GroundGameTX]

HB 524 is a power grab! Ken Paxton is no king—but this bill lets him block elections before Texans even vote.

We already have a system—the courts. HB 524 hands power to state bureaucrats & silences local voters.

📢 Call your Rep & tell them: VOTE NO on HB 524!

[GroundGameTX @GroundGameTX]

🔥 BIG WIN FOR DALLAS! 🔥

A judge just REJECTED Ken Paxton’s attempt to overturn the voter-approved marijuana decriminalization law!
This is a HUGE victory for justice & local organizing. When we root organizing in community, we win!

🧵 THREAD: Lockhart Freedom Act is Under Attack!

1/10 Last November, 68% of Lockhart voters passed the Lockhart Freedom Act (Prop A) to decriminalize marijuana. That’s more than double the votes the Mayor received in his last election! 🗳️ #RespectTheVote

[GroundGameTX @GroundGameTX]

10/10 Lockhart voters made their choice. City Council must listen. 🏛️ Democracy belongs to the people, not politicians.
