Why Join Texas Impact?

As a statewide religious network whose members include individuals, congregations, and other religious groups, Texas Impact combines faith in action with political savvy to foster grassroots networks in local communities that can then mobilize to advocate with their state lawmakers on critical issues.

Texas Impact and the Texas Impact Education Fund bring the voice of religious social concern to bear in the halls of Texas government. Your support for Texas Impact and the Texas Impact Education fund ensures that lawmakers hear the call to “do justice,” not just the calls of partisanship and narrow self-interest.
