Voter Participation

We believe that voting is one of the most important actions we can take to support our communities, improve our future and make a lasting societal impact. We want to include your cousins, tíos, abuelos and make voting a family affair by engaging our voting familia at every step of way; registering voters, turning them out during elections and promoting safe voting for senior citizens through vote by mail.

Neighborhood Associations

Neighborhood associations are a powerful resource nuestra gente can use to make a positive impact in their communities. Somos Tejas partners with existing neighborhood associations and neighbors aiming to create their own organizations, providing workshops and tools that help them to organize around pertinent issues affecting their communities.

Year-Round Community Block-Walk

We change the culture of civic engagement one relationship at a time, by staying engaged with nuestra gente across seasons and campaigns. Our fundamental goals are to listen, to serve and to advocate regarding pertinent issues impacting our community. Across Texas, Latinos are becoming the majority and our need for real representation is ever increasing.
