Empowering Texas Communities

Do you have a similar problem with Amazon products? Not that you have written a book, but that Amazon sells such obvious fakes?

Because Amazon won’t police its offerings, you’re getting shafted (and so am I) Here’s direct evidence

Friends: I’ll be at the SDEC meeting in Longview on 9/13/25 with my wife Melanie… I certainly hope we do better organizing for the November 2026 elections because otherwise …

Just wanted to get this effort to you to see if you might be interested in broadcasting this offer to your network. With luck, I’ll see you in Longview at the next SDEC meeting on 9/12/25. We can only improve our performance by working together…

Texas can’t wait, and you can make a difference! Here’s the top takeaways for this email:

1. Texas Organizers must find common cause in their regional communities, whether in a neighborhood, church, environmental, or other social/political organization/ Grassroots means all, at the local level.

2. Even if good candidates are elected in Texas in November of 2026, getting good policies developed will require new and empowered on-going regional grassroots communities in Texas/ This last Legislative Session has demonstrated that we need to have an grassroots structure outside even a friendly Legislature.

3. The Campaign for Digital Strategy (CDS) people, beginning 9/14/25 are providing a 3-month training to enhance regional AI-enhanced, grassroots organizational skills for regional Cohorts. Get more information here. Over the 12-weeks, the training blends core learning sessions, tactical implementation, community learning, and office hours—so you can absorb new concepts and immediately start applying them in your work—and create regional cohorts while you are trained.

4. This training is available at a discount to people who respond to this email by using a code when they enroll at https://www.centerfordigitalstrategy.com/ai-for-nonprofits-and-advocacy/cohort. This training costs $999, but for people who get this email, they can register for $399, after entering this code at checkout: TXLOCAL399 .

5. CDS also offers scholarships. Or maybe community organizations can pay the tuition for college students and others who might be interested in helping your organization. We have to be more conscious than we have in the past because gerrymandering by the Texas Legislature makes it so we have to be very intentional how we focus on the ground in our communities…

6. Need to know more? Here’s a short video, and/or you can sign up here to schedule a small group video call before 9/14/25…
