Good news! DFW Green organizer, Dr. Ali Anwar has been elected as Vice-President of the new national Arab & Muslim Caucus.
More info on them here:
https://www.gp.org/arab_and_muslim_american_green_party_caucus & here.
Read about the rest of the caucuses on this page: https://www.gp.org/caucuses
Dr. Anwar's been on the hunt for candidates and has already found some good prospects. We hope you are equally motivated. In 2026, we hope to have more Greens running & winning than any other state.
If you are willing to take on the role of a serious Green candidate in 2026, please review our prepared information. Not sure what you could run for? This page details different county positions: https://www.county.org/resources/resource-library/education-and-training/duties-texas-county-officials
Alternatively, you may consider volunteering as a campaign manager or recruiting potential candidates. Either way, GPTX needs members to become involved in developing our slate of candidates for 2026.
Just as important: GPTX needs money!
We operate on a shoestring, and we hate to ask, BUT, with your financial support we could:
- Have signs, banners, & billboards in 2026!
- Reimburse filing fees to the campaigns of nominated candidates
- Maintain & improve our operations

Volunteer Opportunities
SEC
We've got 2 open positions on the State Executive Committee. If you've been active for 9 months, it might be for you. Having a full SEC makes our work a little easier & means our actions are a better representation of Texan Greens. More information about the position can be found here: https://www.txgreens.org/bylaws#A2
Standing Committees
Several seats are unfilled on the national standing committees.
The SEC can approve appointment at any time, if you’re interested in serving in one of these positions, or would like to help with a smaller project, tell us at

Are you an artist? The donation of a logo design or graphic for merch would be a great help. A button-making party could be a great activity for your local group, but maybe you have other fun ideas. Let us know!

Social Media
To help boost our social media posting frequency, a project has begun - a content calendar. If you have a little free time to research a month or just a week or two, so we have a backup topic for each day, send us a message to help out.
There are hundreds of days in the year, but the more help we have, the easier it'll be.

Group Highlight: Say It With Your Chest
SIWYC is a black woman-led mutual aid org standing in solidarity with their unhoused neighbors in dallas. They've been distributing firewood, care packages, water, & organizing wash days at laundromats for folks who have dirty clothes, but no means by which to clean them.
Links to their socials & other stuff can be found here: https://linktr.ee/siwycdtx
If you know other organizations that are putting our 10 key values in action, send us the info so we can get the word out.
That's all for now. May the remainder of this Black History Month be meaningful.
In Solidarity,
