HUMAN RIGHTS
Human rights are rights we have merely because we exist as human beings. They are inherent to all people, regardless of nationality, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 1948, establishes a modern framework for linking public policy and law to the theological and moral tenets shared across the world’s faith traditions.
Reproductive Health Policy
Texas has a long history of short-changing women’s health, especially for women of color and low-income women. Recent extreme bans on abortion have created an environment of fear and anxiety that is impacting all of women’s healthcare. Let’s fix this.
Vidas Robadas (Stolen Lives)
Vidas Robadas (Stolen Lives) is a Texas Impact project focused on addressing gun violence. Through memorializing victims of gun violence, Vidas Robadas localizes and makes visual the reality of gun violence for communities across our state.
HUMAN MIGRATION
Migration policy in the U.S. is primarily a national policy issue, but Texas plays a unique role because of our international border.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
To truly be free, the 14th Amendment eliminates any doubt that religious freedom is a right each individual equally shares. Therefore, government may not permit adherents of one faith to harm non-adherents as an expression of faith.
