About Bold at the Ballot Box
MOVE Texas’ Bold at the Ballot Box initiative is building a political home for young people in 2026, powered by young leaders, storytellers, and artists. Young, multiracial Texans organizing in their communities are the blueprint. When we come together, we challenge a system built to take from us.
Young Texans know democracy isn’t just on Election Day. It’s in the culture we build when we show up for each other in the streets, online, and at the polls. This campaign is about sharing resources, rewriting narratives, building cultural kinship, and creating a new Texas—starting this Primary Election season.
While this campaign is rooted in MOVE Texas’ programmatic work, a Bold Texas doesn’t belong to just one organization; it belongs to all of us. This is an open invitation: tap into the resources, make them your own, and bring them to life in your community. Share them. Build on them. Push them further. If you need support, whether that is sharper messaging, more tools, or extra hands, MOVE Texas is ready to help. Reach out!
Culture Work
Senior Artist in Residence Savannah Hollan turned an Austin ice cream shop into a creative hub for civic action with her “Cold Days, Sweet Future” vision board and banner-making event.
Using her bold Pledge to Vote card lettering for the central banner message, she guided participants through questions and conversations about the future of Texas politics as they added to the piece together all while distributing MOVE Texas voter guides to keep the Primary Election front and center.
Art met action. Vision met the ballot.

Senior Artist Gabe Gonzalez hosted a Queer Joy–centered banner-making event in Fort Worth, bringing LGBTQIA+ Texans together to create art and build power in community.
The gathering celebrated LGBTQIA+ wins in Texas while grounding the conversation in the upcoming Primary Election. Attendees also left equipped with voter materials from MOVE Texas to turn joy into action at the ballot box.
