The EPA proposes unleashing power plants to release all the climate-harming pollution they want. What's more, they want to make it so even future administrations can't regulate power plant emissions either. Find out more about what's at stake and how you can get involved. Link in comments

Democracy doesn’t preserve itself. North Texas, there are two chances this weekend to join us and get READY, SET, GO for the 2026 midterms and beyond!

As Texans, we aren’t afraid to dig deep and put in the work to protect this vital part of American life.
Texas Impact, in partnership with a diverse network of interfaith voices from across North Texas, is convening a community of people who are done watching from the sidelines.

This is a half-day civic engagement training built for faith communities, advocates, and anyone who’s ever asked, “What can I actually do?”

Through keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, and grassroots strategy sessions, you’ll leave with real tools for legislative advocacy, community organizing, and leadership development.

You’ll leave with not only inspiration, but a plan.

We refuse to let hostile political groups use Texas as a laboratory for discrimination and hate.

That’s why Texas Impact’s Leadership Council has launched a targeted campaign to raise $100,000 before the legislative session begins.

Your financial partnership will directly fund a dedicated legislative advocate, mobilize affirming clergy and faith communities across the state, and ensure that Extremist Christianity is not the only religious voice heard in Texas politics.

Today, alongside 25+ major community orgs, we introduced a Prop A ordinance to keep Houston police focused on solving crime — not doing the job of ICE. Across Houston, too many families are living in fear. Afraid to call 911, report crimes, or even take their kids to school. When trust breaks down between law enforcement and the community, Houston is less safe.

This ordinance makes 3 changes:
• HPD won't be required to contact ICE for civil administrative warrants
• Traffic stops end when their lawful purpose ends — not when ICE arrives
• Transparency reports on HPD's contact with ICE

These lawful policies align us with Dallas, Austin, and Bexar County, and ensure we're not doing beyond what state law requires.

This is about public safety. This is about trust.

Houston is strongest when everyone feels safe.
