As we look back on our event last month, we are filled with gratitude and pride for the Pink Granite Foundation community. What we experienced wasn’t just a celebration—it was a powerful reminder of the strength, solidarity and shared purpose that bring us together. People from all walks of life, with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, united for one common cause: supporting women in Texas politics. In today’s divided world, that sense of unity feels more important than ever.

With the 2024 election fast approaching, we know that the road ahead may be filled with challenges, and it’s crucial that we maintain open, respectful conversations. This can be a time of heightened polarization, but gatherings like ours prove that it’s possible to bridge divides. We can come together to support shared values, respecting one another’s differences while focusing on what unites us.

At Pink Granite, our mission of empowering women and encouraging political engagement is more vital than ever. As we look toward the election, let’s carry the energy of our recent gathering with us—the optimism, collaboration and commitment to lifting one another up. Whether it’s through staying informed, engaging in civil dialogue or inspiring others to participate, each of us plays a role in shaping the future of our state and country.

We encourage all of you to remain active and engaged as we approach the election, and in doing so, we ask you to foster an environment of support, respect and unity. Our strength lies in coming together, and it’s through this collective effort that we’ll create the progress we all seek. Your active engagement is not just a contribution, but a reaffirmation of our shared purpose and community spirit.

Thank you for being a part of the Pink Granite family. Together, we are stronger!
