Faith in Texas

Faith in Texas is a nonpartisan, multi-racial, multi-faith grassroots movement of people united in values working together to achieve economic, racial, and social justice for all people. 

We are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Unitarian Universalist, and believers in humanity.  We are people of diverse races, faiths, socioeconomic backgrounds, and professions. We are your family, friends, neighbors, and community. 

OUR VISION

Faith in Texas envisions a world in which economic, racial, and social equity enable everyone to live in complete liberation to pursue their divine purpose and participate fully in the systems and processes that govern their lives.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

The greatest threats to our vision are oppression and suppression, most commonly manifested in the inequitable systems of white supremacy, capitalism, and racism, rooted in the values of dehumanization, fear, and belief in false narratives.

• Economies of extraction in housing, healthcare, lending, and job creation trap people––especially people of color––in spiraling poverty and debt for the benefit of the extremely wealthy.

• Systems of mass incarceration warehouse people of color, poor people, immigrants, and those with mental illnesses for profit.

• Partisan, divisive politics pit impacted people against one another to benefit those who currently hold the most power.

To ultimately overcome these threats, Faith in Texas is purposefully building a multicultural, directly-impacted-led movement with faith and race at the center of our work. We are forging a new social identity that bridges divides and values equity, interconnectedness, and integrity over party affiliation.
