Jail & Criminal Justice Reform
This action team advocates tirelessly for an end to the scandalously high number of deaths in the Tarrant County Jail. Among other reforms, the team also seeks to decrease the number of people incarcerated, especially those with a mental health or I/DD concern, increase the county’s investment in community services, end cash bail and pretrial detention, and improve training of detention officers.
LGBTQ+ Rights
We advocate for the equal rights of all LGBTQ+ persons, and we seek to amplify LGBTQ+ voices and stories. We also provide inclusive, affirming, and celebratory interfaith services, educational opportunities, programs, and resources that uplift and support the LGBTQ+ community in Fort Worth and Tarrant County.
Reducing Gun Violence
Our team is dedicated to reducing gun violence and promoting gun safety. We focus on actions that support the enactment of gun safety laws in Texas, and we advocate for voluntary buyback programs, particularly for firearms designed for mass killings.
Supporting Public Education Advocacy
We are dedicated to supporting well-funded, inclusive public schools where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Immigrant Justice
The Immigrant Justice Action Team advocates for immigration reform and an end to systems of oppression in solidarity and collaboration with organizations and affected communities.
