Hi there! Have you ever driven through Texas down I-35? In such a big state, it’s not too far from Dallas to San Antonio – just 275 miles – but both cities are unique. And each one has problems that require unique solutions. In Dallas, the Texas Center for Justice and Equity (TCJE) team is focused on supporting students – because Black and brown students are over-disciplined compared to white students. They’re suspended, expelled, removed to alternative education programs, and even sent to the juvenile justice system at higher rates. That makes it harder for these students to learn and succeed in the long run. In San Antonio, our team is working on a different part of the system: probation. Although probation is supposed to be an “alternative” to incarceration, people on supervision in San Antonio are being kicked off and incarcerated more than anywhere else in Texas. It’s wrong, and it hurts people and their families. You can join us and other supporters in making a change RIGHT NOW The Texas Center for Justice and Equity (TCJE) is creating solutions that will help people across the entire state. And YOU can make those solutions a reality to help more Texans thrive. Right now, we’re getting ready for one of our biggest giving days of the year. TCJE will be participating in giving events in both Dallas AND San Antonio from September 22-23. Early giving is open for both fundraisers, and you can be an early donor to help us make this change possible! |
