For almost three decades, the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund has organized faith leaders, young people, and communities of color to support a broad progressive agenda in a changing Texas. As a grassroots network of more than 150,000 grassroots activists, TFN is building an informed and effective movement toward equity and social justice.
This year, we have seen a wave of legislation targeting LGBTQIA+ Texans – more than 140 bills filed this legislative session alone. Radical right-wing politicians are banning lifesaving medical care for transgender youth, restricting the participation of transgender athletes in collegiate sports, banning drag performances, and overtly adding “don’t say gay” language to our education curriculum. During peaceful protests of these bills, members of our community were met with violence, intimidation, and arrests. The extremists at the Texas Capitol have stopped at nothing to push their cruel and dehumanizing agenda.
TFN has never given up through all of this, and we never will. Our Just Texas program mobilizes clergy and religious leaders to speak out against using faith as a weapon to discriminate. Our Texas Rising program organizes and builds power with the rising generation through issue advocacy, leadership development and civic engagement. TFN is steadfast in its commitment to serving as a trusted partner and ally in the fight for equity and justice.
Discrimination and hate have no place in the Lone Star State. Your generous support will provide important resources to fund TFN’s organizing, advocacy and education efforts as we face serious challenges in 2023 and beyond. We at TFN will continue to fight for the LGBTQIA+ community at every turn because our vision is a Texas that’s truly for all.
Thank you for joining our movement.
