The Texan Arise campaign is a bold initiative to train and mobilize 1,000 volunteers for the 2026 elections. Our mission is to reshape the Texas legislature to reflect the true will of the people, including the growing demand for a referendum on Texas independence.

This campaign is a call to action for Texans who want to make a difference but may not know how. Through comprehensive, non-partisan volunteer training workshops, we aim to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to support candidates who share our values. These workshops cover critical topics such as:

Fundamentals of elections and political parties
Identifying candidates aligned with voter interests
Campaign strategies, including remote volunteering opportunities
Key activities like voter outreach and get-out-the-vote efforts

The campaign addresses a critical need identified by the TNM: the lack of trained volunteers to support candidates who prioritize Texas sovereignty. By focusing on how volunteers can impact the 2026 primary and general elections, we aim to build a legislature more responsive to Texans’ demands, paving the way for a potential independence referendum. Additionally, the program provides volunteers with valuable campaign experience that will be essential for future efforts to secure TEXIT.

Why Your Support Matters

Texans are increasingly frustrated with politics as usual, and the desire for representatives who truly serve the people has never been stronger. The Texan Arise program empowers everyday Texans to drive this change by providing them with the tools to be effective campaign volunteers. Your donations will directly support this transformative effort by funding:

Training Workshops: Organizing in-person and virtual sessions across Texas to train 1,000 volunteers.
Educational Resources: Developing and distributing materials to guide volunteers in their campaign efforts.
Volunteer Support: Providing resources and coordination to ensure volunteers can maximize their impact.
Outreach Efforts: Expanding our reach to engage more Texans in the movement for independence.

Campaign Goals

The Texan Arise campaign has two primary objectives:

Reshape the Texas Legislature: Train volunteers to support candidates in the 2026 elections who will advocate for policies aligned with voter demands, including a Texas independence referendum.
Build Campaign Expertise: Equip TNM volunteers with the skills needed to support future efforts to win a TEXIT referendum.

The Big Picture

The TNM has been a leading voice for Texas independence since 2005, advocating for political, cultural, and economic self-governance. With growing public support for TEXIT - evidenced by legislative gains and hundreds of Texas First pledge signers - the path to independence runs through the legislature. The Texan Arise program is a strategic response to this reality, addressing the critical need for grassroots support to elect candidates who will champion sovereignty.

Take Action

Phase 1 of the campaign is about developing and launching the program with the first few workshops and a target of 100 volunteers who commit to the Texan Arise Promise. By contributing, you are investing in the future of Texas. Your support will empower volunteers to lead the charge for a legislature that serves Texans and advances the cause of independence. Every dollar brings us closer to a historic opportunity to shape Texas’ destiny.
