MORE UNITES US THAN DIVIDES US
Texas Impact is an interfaith organization. We bring together diverse people from across Texas to advocate on behalf of a common good.
With members in every legislative district in Texas, we represent the voices of mainstream faith communities. Our membership includes denominational bodies, social action networks, local congregations, ministerial alliances, and individuals.
According to an independent analysis by a bipartisan public relations firm, our members are more civically engaged and less partisan than other Texas voters. Our individual membership is evenly split in party affiliation, and our individual members are four times more likely to vote in primary elections than the average Texas registered voter.
