We Got This TX is dedicated to building a pipeline of opportunity for progressive Black, Indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC) to work in the Texas legislative process. At We Got This TX we firmly believe that the BIWOC who lead, serve, and organize our communities best understand how policies impact them and their communities. We also recognize that despite this, BIWOC are systematically denied opportunities to display or receive professional credit for their expertise in the form of publication which contributes to the culture of exclusion in the Texas legislative process.

We Got This TX is committed to giving BIWOC the tools to speak truth to power - in their own words and on their own terms. Our experience is expertise that belongs in the halls of power.

For that reason, We Got This TX will utilize our Raise Your Voice blog as a platform to amplify the voices of these leaders by hosting both their opinion pieces (op-eds) and testimony. Learn more about the process of making a submission below or read their work by visiting our Raise Your Voice Blog.

Potential contributors can submit a 500-750 word opinion piece highlighting issues in the Texas legislature or written documentation of original testimony that they delivered to the Texas legislature. Based on available funding, our team will select pieces to be featured in our Raise Your Voice Blog. Learn more about the process via our guidelines here
