Since our nation’s founding, Black Americans have been the cornerstone to its meteoric rise, the reason for its prosperity, and the protectors of its democracy. All the while, our communities continue to endure the many devious forms of white supremacy that seek to diminish us. While forces may try, we will never be defeated and our spirits never broken.

This Black History Month, TOP is celebrating the lives, contributions, and sacrifices of our ancestors whose resilience and tenacity shaped us into who we are today. We invite you to join us.

Through the end of February, we are commemorating each day a figure whose work has gotten us closer to true Black liberation.

TOP members are excited about the news this past week of Ben Spencer being closer to getting back his freedom. Ben is the son of longtime TOP member Lucille Spencer who for over 30 years has fought to get justice after his wrongful conviction.

Over the last six months, members have ramped up pressure with petitions, rallies, phone-a-thons, and a letter-writing campaign to make sure Ben gets his shot at freedom.

This progress would not be possible if it were not for the grassroots organizing of our members, ongoing support from community allies, Ben’s legal team, and the Dallas County District Attorney’s office supporting that the conviction be vacated.

TOP will continue to follow Ben’s journey and advocate for his full freedom so he can finally hug his mother Lucille after all these years. Stay tuned!

For more information on our Right2Justice campaign work in support of Ben, call or text Carvell Bowens at (214) 934-8558.

Organizing is how Texas becomes the next Georgia

Read all about it: This past Friday, TOP’s year-round organizing and voter engagement work to put more power in the hands of Black and Latino Texans was featured in The Nation!

Just as Steve Phillips, founder of Democracy in Color, highlights in his article, “The next state that is most clearly poised for a Georgia-like trajectory is Texas.”

Using the TOP playbook focused on expanding the Black and Latino electorate, Stacey Abrams and community organizers across Georgia poured their heart and soul into not only a presidential election, but two Senate races that as we all know reaped BIG rewards.

“The Texas Organizing Project is playing a similar linchpin role in Texas,” emphasizes Steve.

Every day through scaling up our work, we are getting closer toward flipping Texas.
