FEDDs Meeting Recap: Racist maps, the Trump Shutdown, & How helping our communities in need - 11/4/25
Thank you to all the attendees of the FEDDs monthly program on November 4th.
If you missed it, you can watch it here on our channel.
And, here’s the presentation deck we referred to.
Huge thank you to our phenomenal guest speakers!
Texas Democratic Party Chairman, and original FEDDs member, Kendall Scudder got us fired up to use the FEDDs neighborhood-level grassroots organizing method across the state - to flip Texas. Some of us were in tears, the speech was so rousing!!
US Congresswoman Julie Johnson provided details on the racist gerrymandered maps, how Dems in DC are fighting the shutdown, how you can help your neighbors, the importance of the work we do together, and how we'll take out trump (remember the Epstein Files...they're coming!!).
TX Representative John Bryant reminded us that we know how to fight - and gave us a piece of practical advice FEDDs agree with: During the primary, ask all Dem candidates for House if they will endorse and vote for a DEM Speaker of the House. That will now be a minimum litmus test. We must remain united and stand behind our leaders stepping into the fray.
Our friends doing heroic work at Vecinos Unidos DFW and El Movimiento DFW told us how to help. There is urgent need to protect our immigrant and refugee neighbors. Please get involved every way you can.

We can't wait to feature all your races in our primary events in January & February. And, to our FEDDs community of leaders, resistors, volunteers and funky friends, no matter how you contribute to the fight, THANK YOU! It is going to take ALL of us working TOGETHER to defeat the authoritarian takeover we are living through. ✌🏼
