Thank you for your vote of confidence this North Texas Giving Day.

Whether it was through a financial contribution or donating your time by phone banking, we are so grateful that y’all answered the call to action!

We will be working with our partners at the University of Texas Dallas to start the process of repairing our Dallas monitors and deploying our Fort Worth monitors, so stay tuned for those updates. These critical repairs would not be possible without your support.

It has been nearly a month since Councilmembers Bazaldua and Cadena announced they would begin the process to evaluate the costs associated with the closure of TAMKO and GAF. YET the five-signature council memo has not been started. This council memo would be the FIRST STEP to kickstarting the process.

The longer it takes, the longer folks in West Dallas, Joppa, and the rest of Dallas will continue to breathe toxic air.
Let your elected officials know this is IMPORTANT to you and hold them accountable.
