Faith in Texas is a nonpartisan, multi-racial, multi-faith grassroots movement of people united in values working together to achieve economic, racial, and social justice for all people.Â
We are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian Universalist, and believers in humanity. Â We are people of diverse races, faiths, socioeconomic backgrounds, and professions. We are your family, friends, neighbors, and community.Â
OUR VISION
Faith in Texas envisions a world in which economic, racial, and social equity enable everyone to live in complete liberation to pursue their divine purpose and participate fully in the systems and processes that govern their lives.
CURRENT CONDITIONS
The greatest threats to our vision are oppression and suppression, most commonly manifested in the inequitable systems of white supremacy, capitalism, and racism, rooted in the values of dehumanization, fear, and belief in false narratives.
Economies of extraction in housing, healthcare, lending, and job creation trap peopleââespecially people of colorââin spiraling poverty and debt for the benefit of the extremely wealthy.
Systems of mass incarceration warehouse people of color, poor people, immigrants, and those with mental illnesses for profit.
Partisan, divisive politics pit impacted people against one another to benefit those who currently hold the most power.
To ultimately overcome these threats, Faith in Texas is purposefully building a multicultural, directly-impacted-led movement with faith and race at the center of our work. We are forging a new social identity that bridges divides and values equity, interconnectedness, and integrity over party affiliation.
Faith in Texas engages people, communities, and voters through community organizing, civic engagement, and leadership development to create pathways of opportunity for all Texans to thrive. To affect change at the local and state levels, Faith in Texas aims to:
- Name the lies and false narratives that undergird injustice and threaten our collective power and liberation.
- Build broad coalitions across race, class, and faith that reflect the many stakeholders in our community to engage in strategic action to dismantle unjust systems
- Demand accountability and transparency from our public systems and elected officials.
- Develop a new generation of community leaders and elected officials to establish, protect, and promote community-centered issues, policies, and systems.
- Pursue and promote grassroots funding.
We do this through:
- Policy Campaigns and Integrated Voter Engagement
- Leadership Development and Faith Formation
- Deep Listening and Research
- Public Action and Civil Disobedience
- Storytelling and Strategic Communications
