First, some background. Under Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas state government has passed a raft of horrendously cruel and abusive policies. “Operation Lone Star,” a Texas version of stop and frisk, has eaten up $14 Billion worth of tax dollars in the last four years and devastated communities there. (Yes, that’s billion with a “B.”)
Meanwhile, for the last several years, Comm/Unity has anchored the communications space for Texans United for Justice (TUFJ), working with a brilliant group of communicators and organizers. Earlier this year, the TUFJ comms space was part of a pilot program–made possible through the support of the Abundant Futures Fund–designed to turbocharge digital communications of groups engaged in pro-immigrant storytelling.
