With new political challenges rapidly emerging in Texas, coordinated action among the state’s civil rights advocacy groups is essential.

That’s why the Urban League Texas Delegation will hold an “Urban League Fights for You Rally” at 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 26, the first day of the National Urban League (NUL) Conference being held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston through Saturday, July 29.

The Urban League Texas Delegation includes the Houston Area Urban League (HAUL), the Dallas-Fort Worth Urban League Young Professionals and the Austin Area Urban League. The rally will serve as a major platform for individuals, organizations and civil rights allies to unite and address statewide systemic injustices.

As prominent Texas-based civil rights organizations, all members of the Urban League Texas Delegation are committed to working with partners, stakeholders and community members to bring meaningful change to Texas politics. Through participation in panel discussions, workshops and networking events at the NUL Conference, the members will highlight urgent issues in marginalized communities throughout Texas — with a particular focus on the Houston, Dallas and Austin areas.

“The Houston Area Urban League, the Dallas-Fort Worth Urban League Young Professionals, and the Austin Area Urban League are honored to stand together at the National Urban League Conference,” said Judson Robinson III, president, and CEO of the Houston Area Urban League. “By uniting our voices and collective efforts, we aim to drive meaningful change in Texas politics and advocate for the rights and opportunities of all Texans.”

Members of the Delegation will welcome all conference attendees, partners and supporters to visit their booths in the conference’s exhibition hall to learn more about their programs and initiatives. The delegation is eager to connect with fellow advocates, strengthen networks and empower one another to create a lasting impact in Texas and beyond.
