Until we all have equal access to participate in civic life

Houston in Action is responding to COVID-19 by keeping people informed and protected from health risks, supporting Coronavirus education and volunteer efforts, and continuing to motivate people to complete the 2020 Census.

For Houston in Action, participation in civic life means that all of us are counted. This means making sure that eligible voters can engage easily in elections, taking part in redistricting so that our districts accurately reflect the makeup of our communities, so that everyone in our communities have a place in the systems that influence our lives.
