We believe that lasting change only happens when we all work together. And part of that is uniting our voices—speaking up and speaking out. When enough of us do this, we show policy makers that improving our community isn’t just a goal; it’s a movement. Join us by signing up and sending a message today.

Our focus on Education, Income, and Health extends to our legislative priorities.

Explore our top priorities for the 86th Texas Legislature below:

Make Childcare Safe

Help improve the safety of all childcare facilities. Since 2007, thousands of children have been injured, sexually abused or have died as a result of abuse or neglect in Texas day cares. Support our efforts to fix this negligent service.
Take Action

Help Feed Seniors

Make it easier for seniors to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance. Recent surveys show that 90% of seniors find the online application too daunting to complete. Show your support for simplifying the application process.
Take Action

Prevent Child Abuse

Protect at-risk children by supporting expanded home visiting services. Home visits are one of the only proven methods to prevent maltreatment. On average, three children in Texas die each week from abuse or neglect.
Take Action

Education

By 2020, we expect 60% of all students to graduate prepared to succeed in college or career.

Income

We provide financial tools that will help move 250,000 North Texans out of poverty by 2020.

Health

Our goal, by 2020, is to ensure that all North Texans have the chance to lead healthy, productive lives.
