Raise Your Hand Texas is working to educate Texans about critical public education issues. We engage Texans in advocacy efforts to support public policy solutions that invest in Texas’ 5.5 million public school students. We work in communities throughout the state to educate, engage, and activate advocates who care about public education – all while keeping five values in mind: integrity, democracy, courage, equity, and pragmatism.
We are building a stronger future for every Texas student by uniting communities to advocate for thriving public schools.
Learn more about the proposed “Legacy Education Fund,” apply to the Community Leaders Fellowship or connect with your Regional Advocacy Director and work with us to build a stronger Texas.
The future of our state will be determined by the success of our public schools, and a strong, well-funded public education system is the foundation of opportunity and economic prosperity.
Our work is mission-driven and focused on empowering Texans in communities all across our state to drive change. We are guided by our core principles of educating Texans about critical education issues, engaging Texans in advocacy efforts, and activating Texans to hold elected officials accountable. Our efforts led to some positive changes during the recent legislative sessions, but more work needs to be done. Dive into our 89th Legislative Session Recap.
