About the Texas Organizing Project (TOP): Founded in 2009, TOP has become a leading statewide organizing group in Texas, advancing racial and economic justice through community and electoral organizing. Our programs are anchored in the three largest metro regions of the state: Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. We have a base of over 277,000 members and supporters who are reflective of Texas’s growing population - people of color, low-moderate income families. Through on-the-ground organizing, grassroots leadership development, direct action, policy advocacy, and electoral engagement, we have secured meaningful victories in criminal justice reform, neighborhood infrastructure, family-sustaining jobs, affordable housing, community schools, health access, and immigrant rights. TOP and its partner PACs have also operated the largest independent grassroots electoral field program in Texas, organizing in four of the state’s largest counties.
