Austin Republican Women

Austin Republican Women (ARW) is a group of Austin-area women keen on political awareness and education, community involvement, and advancing Republican causes and ideals in the governance of our great State of Texas.

We work together to elect Republican candidates who seek local, state and national public offices. To that end, we maintain a robust calendar of events and program activities designed to inform, educate, involve and enthuse our members and guests.

ARW’s Kentucky Derby-themed luncheon and fundraiser held on March 5 was by all accounts a festive and fabulous event. It was also profitable for raising funds for Republican candidates who’ll be on the November 2022 mid-term election ballots. Our generous table sponsors contributed greatly to making the day’s event a success so a big thank you goes out to them.  

Colorful Derby hats and ensembles were quite the scene as luncheon goers dined on special Derby-day fare, enjoyed a traditional mint julep or mimosa, and were enlightened by the words of guest speaker Debbie Georgatos, host of the conservative talk show America, Can We Talk?

Take a look here for a recap of the event and a list of ARW Derby Day sponsors.

Austin Republican Women (ARW) has announced a new initiative for 2021-22 to KEEP TEXAS RED. If we are to preserve and defend our values and beliefs against those who threaten them, the time for action is now. Make no mistake, we are in yet another fight for Texas.

ARW’s 2021-22 KEEP TEXAS RED initiative is both a battle cry and a call to arms. Like famous battle cries of the mid-1830s when Texians fought and died to defend this land, KEEP TEXAS RED is a rallying cry for our time. To those who threaten to turn Texas blue, we say: No way, “Come and take it.”

Today, the battlegrounds are our cities, schools, courts and state Houses. Social media, cell phones and fake news have replaced the cannons and rifles of yesteryear. Our swords are now our elected officials; our weapons are now dollars. Isn’t it time to help ARW arm the arsenal with your donation?

If you answer yes, to defending Republican values and beliefs, please make a donation to ARW’s 2021-22 KEEP TEXAS RED initiative. There are four donation categories from which to choose, each one named after an historic battle cry that spurred Texians to victory in their fight for Texas. With your financial support, ARW can continue that good fight today for the future of our Great State. Let’s KEEP TEXAS RED

– Donation Categories –

$100 – “Remember the Alamo”.
A battle cry used by Texians on April 21, 1836 at the Battle of San Jacinto when a siesta-taking Mexican army was surprisingly descended upon on the banks of the San Jacinto River near present-day Houston. After only 18 minutes, an overwhelmingly outnumbered Texas militia had defeated the Mexican Army, its Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna soon captured, and the Republic of Texas was born.
$250 – “Come and Take It”
Considered the first notable battle of the Texas Revolution, the Battle of Gonzales skirmish with Mexican troops occurred on October 2, 1835 when colonists refused to return a small, six-pound, Spanish cannon given to them for protection from Indian attack. The Texians rolled out the cannon under a flag that read “Come and Take It.” The Mexicans retreated. The Texas Revolution began.
$500 – “Never Surrender or Retreat”
On February 24, 1836, besieged by the Mexican Army, Commander William B. Travis penned his famous Victory or Death letter to the “people of Texas and all Americans in the world” to come to the aid of his Alamo Mission garrison. “I will never surrender or retreat,” he wrote. Unfortunately, no reinforcements came and on the 13th day of the siege, the Alamo fell.
Other (amount of your choice) – “Remember Goliad!”
One event of the Texas Revolution that ignited fury and garnered support from the people of Texas, the U.S., Great Britain and France was the Goliad Massacre of March 27, 1836 that followed the Battle of Coleto Creek. “Remember Goliad” and “Remember the Alamo” were cried out by Texians during the Battle of San Jacinto. “Remember Goliad” was acknowledgement of and contempt for the cruelty of Gen. Santa Anna when he ordered the execution of Col. James Fannin and some 342 unarmed prisoners of war from the Texian Army of the Republic of Texas, and then had their bodies burned.
