All Eyes on Texas - with Bernie Sanders and Beto O'Rourke · Powered by People

## The path to victory is traveled together. ### Join Senator Bernie Sanders and Beto O'Rourke on Tuesday, August 11th for our biggest volunteer call yet! ### Everyone's welcome and everyone will have the chance to help! The only way we win this state and deliver real results for working families—to make James Talarico our next U.S. Senator and Gina Hinojosa our next Governor—is for all of us to stand together and do the grassroots work that actually works. As Senator Bernie Sanders reminds us: **real change never comes from the top down—it only happens when millions of working people stand up together.** We've never had greater challenges, but we've also never had greater power. Grassroots organizing—the power of people—is how we overcome authoritarianism, oligarchy, and corporate control of our country. When we turn out Texas, we come through for America. ### What We'll Do On This Call On this call, we will outline the exact organizing strategy to reach and activate the **NEW VOTERS** needed to win in November. We will give you a readout of the plan, give you a chance to sign up for live trainings and pair you with dedicated volunteers to reach, register and **PERSONALLY** stay in touch with the voters who will power Democratic victories up and down the ballot in Texas. In our 2024 pilot, Powered by People's program took turnout rates of under 40% for 18-29 year olds **to over 79%**. We are expanding this program statewide, as big as we can get it, to turnout the margin of victory in November. **This is your chance to make history**. Join a grassroots community of volunteers leading one of the most innovative and effective organizing efforts in the nation. We'd love to have you join us August 11th—and then work right alongside you through election day—November 3rd. ***Note: We have volunteer roles for people outside of Texas, too!*** ### Joining Tips: - Please join a few minutes early to make sure your video is working - Rename yourself in Zoom to show your first name and region (e.g., Jordan – Houston / Alissa - Vermont). - We recommend turning your camera on if you can—it helps us all feel more connected! - Keep a notebook handy for updates, links, and immediate action steps - If you have any tech issues, message us in the Zoom chat or email info@poweredxpeople.org We can't wait to see you on Tuesday, August 11th!

A statement made by one of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's sons, Ronaldo Salgado. "For more information, I will be speaking at a press conference, with the support of LULAC. Tomorrow Wednesday, July 8 (2026) at 10AM at The Greater Coalition for Justice - 150 West Parker Rd, Houston, TX 5th floor."

A screenshot of an unknown social media post with white text on a black background.
My, father, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a hardworking Mexican man, was the man killed this morning by ICE in the East End.

My father has been in this country for nearly 35 years, working in construction to provide for myself, my two brothers, and my mother.

He was in the process of obtaining his work permit through the legal process. He was on his way to work, picking up his workers.

My father did not deserve this.

Please respect my family's privacy during this time. There are a lot of videos and pictures out there of my father's final moments that I do not wish to see.

For more information, I will be speaking at a press conference, with the support of LULAC.

Tomorrow Wednesday, July 8 at 10AM at The Greater Coalition for Justice - 150 West Parker Rd Houston, TX 5th floor.

Tonight we are mourning a Houstonian life lost to the corrupt and unconstitutional targeting of immigrants in this country. Please watch for plans of action in the near future. We will not forget Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
