Supporting Friendly Candidates and Organizations
There are several ways you can support candidates, and not all of them involve money. We encourage members to support friendly candidates in any way possible. You can:
-
Volunteer time for functions
-
Volunteer to blockwalk
-
Volunteer to work phones
-
Put a sign in your yard
-
Wear clothing advertising the candidate
-
Donate to the candidate's campaign
-
Donate to PACs and other organizations which support pro-education candidates like Texas Parent PAC
-
Talk about why you support the candidate on your Facebook feed
-
Meet with the candidate and ask where they need help and what you can do

Time is even more valuable than money!
