Texas Civil Rights Project
The Texas Civil Rights Project is boldly serving the movement for equality and justice in and out of the courts. We use our tools of litigation and legal advocacy to protect and advance the civil rights of everyone in Texas and we partner with communities across the state to serve the rising movement for social justice. We undertake our work with a vision of a Texas in which all communities can thrive with dignity, justice, and without fear. Our Voting Rights Program tackles the systemic issues that suppress democratic participation in Texas — from voter registration to the moment when an individual casts their ballot. Through litigation and advocacy, TCRP fights to turn the tide on the state’s abysmal voting rights record by removing barriers to voter registration, supporting grassroots voter mobilization efforts, and opposing new attempts to suppress voting. As a critical element of that work, we help lead the Texas Election Protection Coalition: dozens of grassroots organizations that work year round to ensure that all eligible voters in Texas can cast a ballot that counts. Our efforts include operating a toll free hotline to answer voters’ questions, training and deploying hundreds of legal and grassroots volunteers who work at polling locations during Early Vote and on Election Day, using digital tools to connect with voters, and keeping legal counsel on hand to fight for voting rights in court.
