Next Saturday evening, we've got a BIG EVENT in Irving. If you live anywhere near DFW, RSVP right away: https://www.txgreens.org/2025_iftar_dinner
No matter where you live, we need help reaching out to invite folks RIGHT NOW. Sign the use agreement here and visit this page to let us know you can help with phone or text banking. Many hands make light work - the more volunteers we have, the less everybody has to do.

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? We could always use judges, if you qualify. Another good place to start is this page, which details different county positions: https://www.county.org/resources/resource-library/education-and-training/duties-texas-county-officials
Not ready for the spotlight? 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.
Candidate selection starts with the convention process - if your county doesn't have an affiliated group, please start one --> https://www.txgreens.org/how_to_start_a_local_group
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

State Meeting
Our next State Meeting will be held on Saturday, March 29th, from 10am-4pm. If you think the bylaws or platform could be improved, you've got just over a week to submit a proposal to amend it. Is there a committee you'd like to serve on? This will be your chance to be approved by the statewide voting body.
RSVP here: https://www.txgreens.org/2025_annual_state_meeting
Green Education, Onboarding, Discussion, & Encouragement: G.E.O.D.E.
The next GEODE call is on Sunday, April 13th!
We'll be recapping the state meeting, discussing the progress you've made locally, and Marlón will be talking about animal rights.
We'd love to have you join the call. We'll also discuss some state legislation. That's a lot to cover, but rest assured, it won't go on too long.
Get the connection info & RSVP here: https://www.txgreens.org/2025_geodes_april
These calls happen on every month's 2nd Sunday at 4pm. If there's a particular topic you'd like to discuss in a future meeting, let us know.

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 https://www.txgreens.org/contactus.
Visual / Graphic Artists
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, message us here to help out.
There are hundreds of days in the year, but the more help we have, the easier it'll be.
Register Some Voters!
Help eliminate a barrier to voting by getting people to register. Head to this site for more info on how that's done:
