Our years of experience in Texas give us insight, authenticity, and deep connections in a pivotal state that has tremendous impact on national politics but is under-invested in.

Impact on the Community
Make an investment in democracy.
Started by Becky Bullard in 2021, Democrasexy is currently a scrappy LLC with an amazing brand, a strong following, and a track record of success — but without the budget necessary to make our programs as robust as the change Texas needs.
We are crowdfunding $125,000 to get us set up for Q1 of 2025, with an ultimate goal of raising $500,000 in 2025 to grow our impact so we can make this state a safe place where all can thrive.
When you invest in Democrasexy, you support an entire ecosystem of women and queer organizers and small businesses.
