Building community within the Texas Nationalist Movement isn’t just a cultural mission. It’s essential to our success. From the earliest days of the Texas Revolution, the Texian spirit was built on unity, shared purpose, and a fierce commitment to independence. Today, as we stand on the brink of an even greater fight for sovereignty, it’s our responsibility to foster that same spirit in a modern context. Without community, there is no movement, and without the movement, Texas will never reclaim its rightful place as an independent nation.

Community means more than a collection of people living in the same place. It’s a bond of shared values, a commitment to each other, and a readiness to stand together when the stakes are high. The TNM is more than a political organization. It is a cultural mission—a movement of Texans determined to preserve and protect the things that make Texas exceptional. The strength of our community is vital for carrying that mission forward.

Historically, movements for independence, whether in Texas or elsewhere, have thrived when people formed tight-knit, resilient communities. Look back at the Texas Revolution itself. The Texians were a relatively small, loosely organized group, but what set them apart was their sense of purpose and their willingness to defend each other at all costs. Whether at the Alamo, Goliad, or San Jacinto, it was that bond—the belief that together, they could secure a free Texas—that propelled them to victory. Today’s Texas Nationalists must cultivate that same bond if we hope to succeed in our fight for TEXIT.

One of the first steps in building this community is ensuring that every Texan who joins the movement understands their role. It’s not enough to declare support for TEXIT. Each person must see themselves as a vital piece of a much larger puzzle. Whether they’re knocking on doors, making calls, organizing local meetings, or simply spreading the message, everyone has a part to play. We’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it again: this fight for independence will not be won by a handful of leaders. It will be won by the people of Texas.

But building community requires more than just participation. It demands relationships—relationships rooted in trust, shared experience, and a common goal. In today’s age of digital communication, it’s easy to feel disconnected, even when you’re part of an organization like ours. That’s why TNM places such a heavy emphasis on fostering real connections between members, whether through local meetings, social platforms like TNM Social, or events where we can come together and share our vision for Texas.

TNM Social plays a critical role in this effort. It’s not just a place to exchange ideas or post news articles. It’s a hub where Texas Nationalists can connect, organize, and build the relationships necessary to fuel a successful movement. We’ve seen what happens when people move from being supporters to active participants. They begin to see themselves not as isolated individuals but as part of something larger—a movement with the potential to change the course of Texas history.

Every successful movement in history has been built on the backs of individuals who believed in something greater than themselves. And that belief—the unshakable conviction that Texas is a nation, distinct and sovereign—forms the foundation of our community. But conviction alone isn’t enough. We must channel that belief into action, into organizing, and into building the infrastructure that can support an independent Texas. That starts with connecting people, and more importantly, with reminding them that their participation, no matter how small, is crucial.

At the heart of this community-building effort is the idea that every Texian has a responsibility—not only to the cause of independence but to each other. Whether you’re organizing a local event or simply showing up to offer support, you’re strengthening the fabric of our movement. It’s a simple truth: the stronger our community, the stronger our push for independence.

Now, it’s important to recognize that building this community doesn’t happen overnight. It requires consistent, intentional effort. That’s why we’ve put so much focus on creating opportunities for engagement at every level—whether through our educational courses, local meetings, or volunteer efforts. TNM is built on the idea that anyone can contribute, and everyone should.

There’s another key aspect of building community that we can’t overlook—education. Part of what makes the TNM community strong is our shared understanding of the stakes involved. We know what we’re fighting for. But as we continue to grow, it’s important that new supporters are educated about Texas history, our fight for independence, and the values that drive this movement. That’s why programs like Texas Nationalism 101 and other educational initiatives are critical. They ensure that every person who joins this movement understands not just what we’re fighting for but why it’s so important.

In the end, building community is about more than numbers. It’s about creating a network of people who are deeply committed to the cause, who trust each other, and who are willing to do what it takes to see this through. We have the tools, we have the history, and we have the vision. Now, it’s up to us to cultivate the relationships that will drive us forward.

Together, as a community, we can achieve what seems impossible. Together, we can secure the independence of Texas, not just for ourselves but for future generations of Texans who will look back and see that we stood up when it mattered most. If you believe in that mission, it’s time to join the fight—not just in name, but in action. Because together, we’re unstoppable.
