We're working together strategically, collectively, and creatively for racial justice in Waco, McLennan County, and the "Heart of Texas" Region. Using effective models employed across the state and nation, we fight for long lasting change. We recognize that while BIPOC individuals are not being killed by police in our streets, they are being robbed of their freedom to thrive, from the cradle to the classroom to the courtroom. The time for change is now!
