The goal of the Education Campaign is to organize students, parents, teachers, and community members who are invested in the education of our youth. We believe our community members should provide the vision of opportunity, educational freedom and future success their children and neighbors need. We equip predominantly black, Hispanic, and low-income families to work with principals, school boards, and other administrators to solve problems identified by their community.
The Power of Faithful People

OUR VISION
By 2020, our organization of 200 congregations will move over 75,000 people to action. Our Texas 20/20 Vision is for our communities to govern a majority of cities in North Texas and Greater Houston, in order to move a multi-racial agenda to end predatory lending, protect immigrant and Muslim families, scale-down mass incarceration, and provide quality public education for all children. Faith in Texas was built for such a time as this. Over half of Texans draw their deepest values and relationships from their faith traditions. To achieve lasting change for working families in Texas, we need people of faith to bring their best values into the public square.
LIVE FREE
The goal of the LIVE FREE DFW campaign is to organize directly impacted people, their allies, and clergy to assist in ending mass incarceration and gun violence in Texas. Led by a diverse group of faith leaders, we fight against mass incarceration, police brutality, and violence against black, brown, and low-income people. We are building a movement to influence city, state, and national legislators to pass laws that reflect the humanity and value of all people.
MORAL ECONOMY
Every person, regardless of race, education, or wealth, should have the opportunity to thrive while doing dignified work that enhances the community. The Moral Economy Campaign works to ensure that families in low and moderate-income communities are at the tables where economic policy is shaped in their cities, counties, and state. By ensuring every family has a voice, we can ensure access to good jobs, healthcare, and affordable housing while confronting economic exploitation.
LA RED
The LA Red (Liberation, Action, Respect, Equity, Dignity) Campaign recognizes that there are people and corporations profiting off of the suffering of immigrant families. Furthermore, immigrant families are constantly under threat of permanent family separation as a result of an antiquated, unjust, racist system focused on criminalizing immigrants. LA RED builds power by bringing together the stories of immigrants and their allies from different backgrounds to change the view of how immigration impacts our lives.
