[CW: domestic violence] Being system-impacted can also fuel cycles of abuse, as shown in this dramatization. That's why we advocate for the next District Attorney to reallocate funding from their budget to create a first responder model for DV calls. @BackToEdenNP

It's the first day of early voting! Belay & Zed with member organization MARLA (Migrants and Refugees Leadership Academy) are hoping to turn out the youth vote with this video. Share this with 3 young voters to make their message go viral! #GrowTheCircle

[Houston in Action @HoustoninAction]

Our criminal justice system too often turns minor violations into life-altering consequences. Who we elect as District Attorney and Sheriff makes all the difference. Follow Calvin along this dramatization of real stories that happen every day.

Can Houston churches afford electricity bills after #HurricaneBeryl?

First Missionary Baptist pays $850 for its monthly electric bill. Weeklong surge of electricity needed to shelter people in hurricane will increase cost to $8K for July.
