The Texas Community Quilt

Together, we’re creating a vibrant tapestry of hopes and visions for our beloved state. Regardless of our race, gender, income, or zip code, Texans of all backgrounds know our worth. We know we are worth a quality public education, affordable health care, dignified jobs,and a fair shot at prosperity. We deserve a state that provides opportunity for all of us.

Every Texan’s People’s Budget is a coordinated strategy to create a state policy roadmap that focuses on community investments that the State of Texas can make for the people of Texas. We want to hear from you!
