We are officially on the Road

Dear Advocates of Change,

Yesterday, we kicked-off the Freedom Walks a 3-week campaign to inspire political power and mobilization in communities of all backgrounds leading to the 2020 elections! We heard from local leaders in Brownsville and Corpus Christi about their experiences helping migrants on the border. We heard how our communities are finding solutions from organizing sustainable kitchens to feed asylum seekers to creating spaces for how we learn about the complexity of intercity politics to homeless, immigration and education.

Now, we are off to San Antonio with a vast network of local and national leaders to walk in solidarity across 14 different cities in 8 states across the U.S. and the District of Columbia from October 15 to November 3, 2019. Will you join us?

You can also join us for the next 4 walks in Texas where community leaders like yourself can share space and set the agenda on issues impacting your community from the separation of families, hate crimes, incarceration and criminalization, health care, climate change, education and many more issues that impact your everyday.
