any effort to turn Texas blue must focus on increasing turnout, and that is Texas Blue Action’s primary goal
meaningful action and measurable outcomes
our 2024 strategy
target 10 counties: Hidalgo, Travis, Harris, Fort Bend, Dallas, Denton, Collin, El Paso, Tarrant, Bexar. There are at least 1.1 million additional voters in these 10 counties alone who are likely Democrat voters.
train more volunteers: With 8,000 volunteers, block captains, precinct chairs, and candidates in our network, we are already in 1003 of the 1930 zip codes in Texas. Training and supporting another 30,000 volunteers, Texas Blue Action will build a permanent, coordinated voter turnout machine.
focus on specific precincts: Identify precincts with lower than average turnout, recruits volunteer leaders with an interest in organizing their community and provides training on the precinct and block captain model of organizing.
students: Students are extremely transient and very difficult to canvass with traditional methods. Our model is to digitally canvas 4 year colleges by recruiting freshmen and sophomores to add student voters in high-density housing to their own digital networks.
bilingual/esl communities: Team members pioneered the first large scale multilingual relational program in Texas history, campaigning in 27 languages, recruiting volunteers from immigrant communities, and micro-targeting the smallest possible affinity groups to form digital non-native English speaking networks. We are committed to expanding this program.

relational organizing
the blue action network is now the largest volunteer relational network in the country, with over 7,000 volunteers and over 200 candidates and elected officials participating, and over 500,000 registered voters across Texas in the network. In precincts Texas Blue Action was involved in, we saw an increase 5% voter turnout on average. We partner with any organization which aims to increase voter turnout and serves as a “training hub” for relational organizing in Texas across campaigns, county parties, Democratic clubs, and organizations, as well as linguistic, ethnic, faith-based and student groups.
our success is guided by five pillars that shape how we work.
neighborhood organizing model that builds sustainable GOTV infrastructure
year-round engagement
all politics are local and personal
voter education
data driven
fighting for all texans
Texas Blue Action was formed in 2018 to fill the gap in organizing at the community, neighborhood, and precinct level that exists in Texas. Unlike campaigns, Blue Action is a consistent presence in our communities. Because we operate year-round, our motivated, educated volunteers become valuable resources in their communities on voting information, voter registration, and candidate information.
It's relational organizing at its best.
