Every Texan Welcomes Marisa Bono as its New CEO

Leading civil rights attorney and social justice advocate’s tenure starts May 5.

We are thrilled to announce that Marisa Bono, a lifelong social justice advocate and thought leader, will join Every Texan as our next CEO starting on May 5, 2021. Marisa joins Every Texan after most recently serving as Chief Strategic Officer of VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio and brings extensive experience as a civil rights lawyer and public servant. As the first Latina and first person of color to serve as Every Texan’s CEO, she will continue our organization’s legacy of achieving social justice through public policy.

Marisa is the strong, visionary leader Every Texan needs at this critical time for our state. After an extensive national search, Marisa rose to the top because of her exemplary track record championing social justice issues, her collaborative leadership style, and her authentic approach to building coalitions across the state to inspire Texans to join us in forging a more equitable and just future. Please consider making a donation today to celebrate Marisa and this next chapter at Every Texan.

We are nearing the one-year anniversary since we changed our name and brand to better reflect our social justice vision and values for Texas. We are confident that Marisa will pursue that bold vision fearlessly as an advocate for every Texan with deep policy experience and a strong commitment to creating a state where people of all backgrounds will prosper.

Following Ann Beeson, who stepped down in October 2020 after seven years as CEO, Kathy Miller served as interim CEO, supporting Every Texan's policy and advocacy experts while the organization successfully completed the national search.

Beginning in May, Marisa will continue and expand Every Texan’s work researching and advocating for social justice and building coalitions across the state to expand equitable opportunities for all Texans. We look forward to formally introducing you to Marisa in the near future, so stay tuned for more announcements regarding this exciting transition.

In the meantime, please join us for our virtual event, Texas Taxes & Social Justice, tomorrow, April 15 at 11:00 a.m. CT. Marisa will give some brief remarks during this special event, and we hope you will be part of this discussion on what a fair tax system would mean for Texas.

At this critical time for our state and our organization, your support is invaluable to us. Thank you for sharing our vision for making Texas a state where every Texan thrives.
