Declaration of the #AmericanCommunistParty

The ACP Texas chapter met up in Austin to restore the home of Florence, an 81-year-old cancer survivor and life-long local community volunteer. She is a beloved member of the community who has run a charity for 30 years called 'Florence's Comfort House', dedicated to helping children receive higher education and grow up in a safe environment. Florence selflessly stepped up to the plate to meet the needs of her community when existing institutions all but left Montopolis behind and continues to do so despite her health challenges. In honor of her many sacrifices, and in an effort to extend our resources to this community, ACP TX decided to assist Florence in revitalizing & maintaining her home. We draw inspiration from community members like Florence, whose cause is noble and in common with the #AmericanCommunistParty.

🇵🇸American Communist DEMANDS ANSWERS at Texas City Council meeting: WHY are our taxes funding ZIONIST GENOCIDE rather than helping our own people? WHY is Governor Abbott threatening to pull city funding if we the people recognize PALESTINE?

This week, ACP Texas deployed cadre from across the state to support Kerrville's recovery from catastrophic flooding that killed over 100 Texans across six counties - including 59 adults and 36 children in Kerr County alone - with over 170 still missing as of yesterday. This tragedy followed years of unheeded warnings to local and state officials. Despite proposals for centralized monitoring like neighboring counties have, funding was repeatedly denied. One commissioner called the system "extravagant," relying instead on an informal phone tree that proved fatally inadequate when the Guadalupe River rose 20 feet in 95 minutes over the weekend. In the wake of this neglect and devastation, Central Texas citizens have mobilized in inspiring fashion to support displaced and impacted communities. ACP TX joined in on these efforts to play our part in aiding the working people of Texas.

Our Dallas group spent early sunday morning cleaning up Brownwood park. The park was littered with empty alcohol bottles and paraphernalia among other trash. The American people deserve safe parks for recreation and community-building, without threat of injury.

Giving a voice to our communities is one of the main missions of the ACP. This is Florence.

ACP Texas believes in exercising our second amendment rights. Over the past few weeks, our cadre visited the range to train self defense with various firearms, practicing pistol aim and learning how to sight in a rifle. We will always stand up for American constitutional liberties. #AmericanCommunistParty

🚔🚫American Communist CALLS OUT Dallas City Council: Building a COP CITY in Dallas is a THREAT to freedom-loving Texans and the city’s working people. WHY is Dallas City Council spending MILLIONS to build a POLICE FORTRESS while working people in Dallas struggle?

ACP Texas participated in a discussion with a local Texas truck owner-operator driver on the state of the trucking industry and how the system is exploiting working class truckers. We continue our work of reaching out to truckers who are the backbone of the American economy, while bringing attention to their everyday struggles as the capitalist system further deteriorates their working conditions.

ACP TX supported striking Hertz workers at the DFW airport by bringing food and snacks. A few days later, the strike won a new contract for the workers. The #AmericanCommunistParty stands with workers who are fighting for fair wages in these hard times to support their families.

ACP Texas condemns Governor Abbott's threats & blackmail against the people of San Marcos as they express their freedom of speech in support of the Palestinian people. ACP Texas will always stand firm with the working people of the United States who demand an end to aiding the criminal Zionist regime against their will.

When the system abandons you, who can you look to for help? We spent nearly $400 on groceries & furniture for Keke and her 4 kids she takes care of. Our Comrades also took some time to meet with her and her pastor to understand and investigate the situations many face regarding the foster care system's bureaucracy and CPS's failures. Keke works long hours for low wages while fighting to keep her family together. Rising rents and neglectful landlords add to her struggle, while CPS enforces ridiculous rules that block her from becoming a foster guardian for the kids she already cares for. This isn't just Keke's story—it's the reality for countless working-class Texans and Americans. As landlords bleed tenants dry and the government shrugs, we’re building a future where communities stand together, providing direct aid and fighting for real change. The #AmericanCommunistParty isn’t just talking; we’re taking action. From housing support to serving the neglected, we're here to fight for working families like Keke's. Together, we’re proving that solidarity is stronger than any broken system.

Members of the Texas Chapter of the ACP joined forces with Carol’s Kindness, a community-driven organization fighting hunger with compassion and action. Together, we worked to distribute fresh, healthy food to families in need during the Christmas season. During our time with them, we helped transport truckloads of frozen goods, fresh produce, and pantry staples to the distribution center. There, we prepared meal kits and worked efficiently to serve the families who had lined up for hours. These families weren’t looking for handouts—they were looking for dignity, sustenance, and survival. Our day with Carol’s Kindness reminds us that true change happens when communities organize and take back control. If you’re tired of a system that prioritizes profit over people, join us. Together, we can build an America where no one goes hungry.

Last weekend, ACP TX rallied 15+ comrades for the largest independent volunteer showing for Oak Cliff Veggie Project’s food distribution event in DFW. We spent the day hauling produce, packing bags, and ensuring fresh food reached working-class communities across Dallas. Alongside OCVP founders, longtime volunteers, and coalition partners, we strengthened ties in the fight against food insecurity—while bringing the message of American Marxism to dozens of new ears. We secured new food donation sources with local farms, bakeries, & grocers, locking in 41 units of mixed greens, 30 lbs of tomatoes, and 10 loaves of fresh sourdough—just a start in building lasting community support. ACP TX stands with grassroots orgs solving real problems, and we’re committed to being a logistical & operational force for the working class.

The #AmericanCommunistParty has launched a nationwide initiative to assist those affected by Hurricane Helene. Members are clearing roads and providing aid to our fellow Americans. You too can join the effort by donating to tinyurl.com/ACPHeleneRelief today!

Our Comrades at Hermann park in Houston helped clean up the aftermath of hurricane beryl. The hurricane happened over a month ago but to this day communities are still surrounded by the remnants of this natural disaster.

On Sunday, ACP TX redeployed to Leander to continue our efforts supporting various forms of civilian disaster relief, including search & rescue operations, warehouse organizing, debris-clearing, and home restoration. SAR & debris-clearing was cut short on Sunday due to another round of heavy storms and flooding risks. While out in the field, ACP TX had to execute on an emergency retreat back to civilian HQ along with other civilian & firefighter volunteers after warning signs of flooding upriver. This well-organized deployment & retreat was again managed by a team of civilian volunteers, organized with contingency plans, removal vehicles, and emergency communications. We remain completely impressed with the level of disciplined organization already present among the working people of Central Texas. We also returned to one civilian’s home, whom we assisted Saturday with massive debris removal, to start work on home renovations. We removed flood-damaged floorboards and helped clean the floors in preparation for professional contractor work. Once again, we ask: Where is the emergency response from city, state, and federal officials? Why is it still average working Texans stepping up to rebuild Leander? We’re not here to beg for our institutions to “do their job”. We know they won’t. That’s why we’ll be here, deep with the real working people of Leander, helping to build a new status quo for people’s power. When disaster strikes, the masses stand up. ACP will be there side by side with working people asserting their interests.

ACP Texas assisted with clean up efforts in Lubbock after a series of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes ravaged the area. In collaboration with Keep Lubbock Beautiful, ACP provided a service that the city government normally neglects to the East, historically black, side of Lubbock. #AmericanCommunistParty

ACP TX condemns the development of Dallas’ “Cop City,” a blatant threat against the people of Dallas. As the city faces compounding crises pushing more working people into poverty & to the brink of desperation, our city leadership responds not by fighting for its people, but by funding a militarized police fortress. Dallas leadership does not have our best interests in mind. They are building the apparatuses to fight us, not fight for us. This cannot stand.

A few weeks ago, a violent storm swept through Austin causing a MASSIVE tree to fall on the home of a great friend of our chapter, Florence. When the #AmericanCommunistParty commits to a project, we don't just drop our tools and walk away. The ACP is always looking for the opportunity to assist our community, old and new.

Consistency is everything. When ACP TX plants its roots in a community, it takes that commitment seriously. ACP TX returned to OCVP last weekend to assist with another food distribution project. This time we helped pack over a hundred fresh produce bags for community partners to take to working class neighborhood, as well as to feed a local community-run 5K. Our goals in NTX always begin squarely with identifying the organic movements of our neighbors, communities, and working class, and humbling our cause before those movements. OCVP is leading the charge in South Dallas for food justice & food sovereignty, and acts as a great community mobilizer. All of the sovereign Left in TX has much to learn from them. We plan to continue our work with OCVP, supporting their efforts as they expand into new territories and further take on the mantle of leaders for good sovereignty in NTX.

Houston helped clean up a beach along the Texas City Skyline Drive. The beach had been neglected and was filled with bottles and trash. The area is popular for fishing, picnicking and dolphin watching. After we cleaned, families came and started picnics in the newly cleaned area!

On Sunday, comrades of ACP TX continued their work supporting recovery efforts in the Leander & Sandy Creek community. This time, ACP TX comrades were able to source a large dumpster from a trusted community contact to help haul garbage for community members. We cleared a couple of properties of neglected debris & trash, helping them reclaim a sense of normalcy. One of the most frustrating challenges for the people of Leander has been garbage removal. People’s entire lives are sitting in a pile of debris & rubble on their curbs & lawns, but the county has been dragging its feet on clearing the debris. It took countless hours of phone calls, meetings, and heated advocacy from civilian leaders to pressure the county to act. Two weeks after the disaster, the county is just now starting to deploy contracted trucks to haul garbage & debris. Yet, civilians aren’t allowed to do their own debris drop-offs at the collection site, certain neighborhoods are being neglected, and the process is moving all too slowly. Even if we’re only able to improve quality of life for a few residents at a time, it’s that targeted work that is most needed in Leander. In collaboration with civilian relief operations, chiefly the kind & capable people working out of Flying K Ranch, we’ve gone lower & deeper into the community to find the working families left behind by official disaster response, helping residents solve more acute problems as the initial disaster period ends and the protracted recovery period continues. Whether that’s helping rebuild infrastructure on their properties, putting them in touch with resource centers, or going door to door to assess need, ACP TX is committed to nurturing its roots in Leander and evolving how we serve & work with the people of Leander.

Our comrades in Dallas assisted the Oak Cliff Veggie Project in food distribution, helping to move and package fresh produce. They also helped as they handed out the produce to local people in a Dallas neighborhood.

Using our connections with Florence's Comfort House, we were able to conduct some social investigation into the Montopolis area. We identified several families and elderly folks living there who could use a little encouragement this Christmas. For them, we delivered baskets of thoughtfully arranged food items and toiletries to bring them a little comfort and happiness for the holiday season. Merry Christmas from ACP Texas!

We are proud to have sent our delegation to the first National Convention of the #AmericanCommunistParty in Chicago. We are grateful for all of the wonderful people we met this weekend and excited to work with other chapters in fulfilling the Program set forward by the Party. The future belongs to the working class!

ACP Aura. Work hard, play hard. This past weekend, ACP TX hosted Chapters from across the Southwest for a Summit in Amarillo to build deeper ties in our bioregion, learn about the critical importance of (and dangerous draining of) the Ogallala Aquifer, and finally to celebrate our first full year of Party activity. Thanks to the graciousness of Ogallala Life, the Party got a full presentation on the Ogallala Aquifer, its history, and the monied interests & old money families currently depleting the groundwater source for short-term financial gains at the expense of sustainable agricultural production and the working people of the High Plains region. After strategizing on new fronts of Party activity, we kicked back and enjoyed everything Amarillo had to offer. Cigars, gun range, horseback riding, canyon hikes, good BBQ, and unforgettable memories with comrades. It’s these moments that make us a stronger, more unified Party. It’s an honor to celebrate the first anniversary of our Party with cadre from across the nation, reflect on our gains, and strategize for what’s ahead as we continue the fight for American working class power & sovereignty. The struggle takes on new forms in our second year, and our Summit got us ready for the challenge. Let’s get it.

The Texas Chapter of the ACP rolled up our sleeves alongside the Oak Cliff Veggie Project for their December 'Cultivate the Community' event in Oak Cliff. We harvested collards, laid garden beds, and prepared compost to help fight food apartheid in southern Dallas. “Food deserts are areas where residents have limited access to affordable and nutritious food, often because supermarkets or large grocery stores are not within a convenient distance. In Dallas, particularly in Southern Dallas, the closure of grocery stores like Save A Lot has exacerbated this issue. According to reports, over 36% of Dallas residents live in areas defined as food deserts” - [Supermarket News, 2024] Additionally, many residents of food deserts in Dallas lack personal vehicles, making it difficult going to grocery stores which are usually outside the urban areas. With the lack of public transportation options in these areas, due to this, many have to rely on less nutritious food from corner convenience stores or gas stations. Food is a human right—not a privilege. Southern Dallas deserves more than crumbs. Projects like OCVP show us the potential of local sovereignty, but they also expose the failures of American Capitalism to meet even our most basic needs. We’re inspired by OCVP’s vision: a world where no one suffers from food apartheid. Their microfarms and distribution efforts are a blueprint for what’s possible when the people take power. We’re honored to have worked alongside them. To build a just future, we must go beyond charity. We must fight for systems that ensure everyone has access to quality food, housing, and health. That fight starts here, with people, power, and solidarity. If you're tired of empty promises from politicians and billion-dollar corporations, join us. The fight for a better world is happening now

ACP Texas participated in a local Dallas protest against Zionist wars in the Middle East, specifically Trump’s bombing of Iran, the continued bombing of the people of Gaza, and escalations towards World War 3. Americans don't want to fund or participate in another imperialist war for Israel while our own country’s problems are being ignored. Texans: Say NO to more imperialist wars! ACP will always stand with all Americans against globalists wars for profit.

Our comrades in Dallas helped clean up Joes Creek, a notorious illegal dumping sight which feeds into the Trinity River. Paraphernalia, old electronics, piles of misc. trash were found at the scene. It is harmful to our communities to have freshwater sources polluted in this way.

ACP Texas deployed a team to continue assisting with flood relief in Sandy Creek last weekend. At this stage of the broader recovery operation, we are salvaging peoples' homes and helping them clear land. On this occasion, we assisted Amanda with preparing her home for significant repairs and renovations, and helped her clear some of the land around her home.

ACP TX is committed to supporting the working families & organized civilians of Leander in their mission to restore their community after disastrous flooding. The work continues.

While families in our state struggle to put food on the table, major grocery corporations are throwing away edible food by the ton. Carol’s Kindness, founded by the dedicated and visionary Carol, steps into the gap left by this wasteful and negligent system. Carol’s Kindness started with a mission to rescue surplus food from grocery stores, restaurants, and caterers—food that would otherwise end up in landfills—and redirect it to the people who need it most. Since its founding, the organization has recovered over 4.4 million pounds of food, providing over 3.7 million meals to hungry Texans. Meanwhile, corporations like Walmart, Kroger, and others throw out perfectly edible food every single day. Why? Because it’s not “profitable” to give it away. This is the brutality of capitalism: it would rather let food rot than ensure no one goes hungry. The waste is staggering, but so is the need. In Texas alone, 1 in 8 people face hunger, including 1 in 5 children. Carol’s Kindness proves that with community action, we can fight back—but we shouldn’t have to. Feeding the people is not charity. It is a moral obligation. Food is a right. Waste is a crime. Solidarity is the answer. Learn more about us here: ACP.us

At dawn, our cadre executed warehouse operations: -Categorizing critical donations (hygiene/medical/food) -Loading pallets for distribution -Assembling family supply kits This foundational work enables efficient aid delivery to hardest-hit areas in Central Texas.

Working alongside Salvation Army coordinators and Kerrville residents, our team dove into essential warehouse operations - sorting vital donations into medical, hygiene, and food categories while assembling family supply kits. The impact was felt in the collaboration: Texans from all backgrounds working shoulder-to-shoulder to support neighbors in crisis.

Kerrville is one of dozens of Central Texas communities devastated by these floods. We're coordinating with regional partners to identify urgent unmet needs in smaller towns along the Guadalupe River basin. Our teams remain on-call throughout July. ACP TX will always be ready to act in service of working families in our state. Join the effort: VOLUNTEER: Contact Salvation Army Kerrville at (830) 465-4797 for direct volunteering opportunities in the region & donation direction DEPLOY: Visit acp.us/join to become a Reserve member and assist in relief efforts ORGANIZE: Organize supply drives in your own community, and get in touch with Central Texas mutual aid organizations collecting supplies.

Over a dozen people came out to participate in the restoration process spanning the two-acre property.

We had an excellent turn out, allowing us to put in plenty of work and provide much needed service.

We helped Keke install new drawers.

With care and commitment, we assisted Amanda in preparing her home for essential repairs and renovations while clearing debris from her surrounding land, bringing hope and progress to her recovery journey.

God Bless the working people of TX who have organized themselves to solve their own problems, without relying on the bloated, bureaucratic, impotent institutions that claim to represent them. The future belongs to the working class.
