After 14 years, most folks who are active in progressive politics in Texas have an idea of what exactly Progress Texas is and does - but, it occurs to us that, over the last handful of years, there are a great many of you who know us from our podcasts and digital media, but may not have the full story. We've assembled most of the PT crew, plus for the first time, board member Alex Andrade, for a tour through what we do, how we do it, and most importantly, WHY.

The hard fact is, our conservative opposition have done a much better job at the financial end of things - between oil billionaires, corporate PACs and religious groups (not to mention foreign dictatorships), right-wing messaging orgs generally don't have the funding challenges that groups like ours on the progressive side do. We operate without subscriptions or paywalls, because we consider the messages we craft to be important for ALL to see and share - so, we need your help! We're looking to add 50 new regular, recurring donors to the PT team between now and the end of September, and you can pitch in for as little as $10 per month to help us keep on truckin'. Go to https://progresstexas.org/donate to sign up - and for your trouble, if you do so before the end of September, we'll be sending you an invitation to join us at our Austin or Dallas Holiday Parties this December!

Thanks for listening, which itself helps us keep going. We appreciate you!
