Texas Civil Rights Project

Our Work

At the Texas Civil Rights Project, we’re fighting for a Texas where every community can thrive with dignity, justice, and without fear.

By making a gift to TCRP on North Texas Giving Day, you are responding to critical challenges facing communities across North Texas and our state. In Dallas, TCRP is bringing families and community members together to demand accountability for the impact of federal Immigration Enforcement, engaging residents in the city budget process, and working alongside communities to challenge the expansion of surveillance technology. Across North Texas, we are also protecting voting access, defending immigrant communities, and holding those in power accountable. Your contribution directly advances our mission to boldly serve the movement for equality and justice in Texas.

In 2026, threats to civil rights continue to escalate at the local, state, and federal levels. Meeting these challenges requires sustained legal, advocacy, and organizing capacity, as well as the ability to respond quickly as new threats emerge. We must all identify our role and stand together with strength and determination.

In North Texas, TCRP’s work includes:

• Protecting voting rights and access to the ballot across North Texas.
• Standing with immigrant communities and demanding accountability.
• Building community power through local budget advocacy and organizing in Dallas.
• Challenging surveillance technologies that threaten privacy and civil liberties.

Rooted in community, TCRP uses the law and advocacy to advance and protect the civil rights of all Texans, particularly those most impacted by systemic injustice. With impacted individuals, community advocates, and partners, we pursue impact litigation, policy advocacy, community mobilization, and narrative change to build grassroots power, challenge systemic harm, and drive lasting change across Texas.

Across Texas, our attorneys and advocates work in three core areas:

• Voting Rights – protecting the freedom to vote and fair representation
• Beyond Borders – fighting for the dignity and safety of migrants and border communities
• Criminal Legal – reducing the harms of over-policing and mass incarceration

For 35 years, TCRP has stood with communities that others often overlook. But this work is resource-intensive, and the need is growing. With your support this North Texas Giving Day, we can keep showing up where we’re needed most.
