Pat --
It’s been a busy few months. Chelsea and I have been on tour for our first book together, The Book of Gutsy Women. Meeting people -- and hearing about the gutsy women in your own lives -- has been a source of inspiration for us and the entire Onward team as we prepare to head into 2020 stronger than ever.
Our family grew this year with the arrival of our third grandchild. And I’m thrilled to tell you that the Onward Together family is growing, too; we’re adding two new partner organizations this winter. The first, Texas Civil Rights Project, is working to advance equality and justice in Texas through legal advocacy and litigation.
You can learn more about the Texas Civil Rights Project below, and then head to texascivilrightsproject.org to be a part of their work.
Thank you -- and onward!
Hillary Onward Together works to build a brighter future for generations to come by supporting groups that encourage people to organize in their communities or run for office. Because you're an important part of Onward Together, we wanted you to get a chance to know these groups a little bit better. To learn more about Onward Together, click here.
The organization: Texas Civil Rights Project
The leadership: Civil rights attorney and voting rights expert Mimi Marziani
The mission: TCRP serves the movement for equality and justice in and out of the courts, under the belief that legal advocacy and litigation are critical tools to protect and advance the civil rights of everyone in Texas, particularly the most vulnerable populations, and to effect positive and lasting change to law and policy.
The latest: Under the guidance of President Mimi Marziani, TCRP is the go-to legal and advocacy arm of the social justice movement in Texas. Through it’s unique, community-centered approach to lawyering, TCRP aims to advance equality and justice in Texas in three main areas: voting rights, criminal justice reform, and racial & economic justice. In the last three years, they’ve defended tens of thousands of Texas voters against illegal voter purges and defeated Senate Bill 9 -- perhaps the sharpest attack on voting rights in Texas in years; fought to end the practice of torturous solitary confinement in Texas prisons; and reunited hundreds of families separated at the border.
The next step: TCRP serves the social justice movement in Texas and across the country. Visit www.texascivilrightsproject.org to get involved.
