Inside Every Texan’s Organization Restructure |
|
At Every Texan, we’ve long said that our state’s greatest resource is our people. That fundamental truth is also reflected within our organization – Every Texan’s staff is our greatest resource in building an equitable, multiracial democracy in our state. Equity is a core pursuit in everything we do, including our workplace. But equity is not just about fair and just outcomes, it is also about the process –– how we operate as an organization, how we create space for staff to step into decision-making processes, and how we share power. We spent much of this year realigning to ensure our team is positioned to do its best work internally and in the larger social justice ecosystem. Alongside a new strategic plan, part of the realignment includes an organizational restructuring designed to support more equitable, inclusive, and decentralized participation in all aspects of our work. As an unionized, Black- and Brown-led organization, we know all too well that it’s not enough to have a diverse team. To truly live our values, our staff must have the resources and power to affect change within and outside of our organization. The restructure has given us the chance to cultivate the team we’ve built and tap into our internal wealth of experience, talent, and insight. Looking ahead to the upcoming 88th Legislative Session, we’re thrilled to share more details of our new structure and how it will propel our efforts to build a state where every Texan has the freedom, resources, and opportunity to thrive. |
