Mission and programs · 2023

The organization canvassed approximately 2,000 homes in West Dallas to conduct community surveys and partnered with Builders of Hope to promote their anti-displacement toolkit, providing residents with information about housing resources and local development efforts. Somos Tejas also collaborated with Civic Nation to address the digital divide by assisting more than 100 families in enrolling in an affordable connectivity program. These initiatives strengthened local relationships, improved access to vital services, and earned recognition from the U.S. Department of Education for contributions to digital inclusion and community advancement.

Somos Tejas also collaborated with Cara Mia Theatre to support a production focused on voter engagement, using the arts to spark dialogue around civic life.

• In 2023, Somos Tejas advanced its voter engagement work by conducting door-to-door outreach to approximately 10,000 homes across Oak Cliff and Mesquite to share information about registration, early voting, and polling locations.
