OUR PILLARS

2021 Initiatives

Covid-19

Covid-19 is disproportionately affecting Latino’s at an alarming rate. As essential workers, nuestra gente is the economic engine of the state; to us they are our friends and family and our aim is to provide information and resources to help keep our community safe.

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.

Civic Engagement

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.
