Mobilize for Liberation

Do you want to build people power to create real, community-rooted change? Join us for Mobilization Training! This training is for individuals who want to join or form a Mobilization Team that can build power to liberate our community from white supremacy, as expressed through policing, mass incarceration, violence, and a lack of critical resources like housing and dignified employment. Mobilization Teams look for where the desire for liberation is pent up, and unleash it by activating people into the ongoing struggle for justice through political education, voting, and actions. In other words, Mobilization Teams build and unleash people power! At the training, you will learn: How to create and fuel escalating actions that build power and community leadership How to promote and turn out people from your community to actions How to use organizing tools to build a consistent base of people who take action with you Once you complete Mobilization Training, you will be eligible to join a Mobilization Team with Faith in Texas. Call-in information will be shared upon registration.

Road to Liberation Campaign Launch

On August 30, Faith in Texas will launch our Road to Liberation Campaign to divest from white supremacy and invest in true liberation. We will share our faith-rooted analysis of how policing and mass incarceration have been rooted in the age-old lie that some people are worth less than others - the same lie that has accommodated slavery and jim crow - and how we can free ourselves from its grasp. We’ll offer breakout sessions to explore how white supremacy shows up in our lives and communities, and how we can take action to disrupt and dismantle it. Finally, we will take action together to let our community and our leaders know that we will no longer submit to the chains of white supremacy and racist systems. Join us for this galvanizing event as we set off on the Road to Liberation together.
