Thank you for visiting us online!
Giving a voice to the voiceless, serving the disadvantaged populations and advocating to affect change in Texas is a daunting task. But so many of the CSTX member agencies deserve thanks from all of us for their tireless and sometimes thankless work to provide such valuable services.
CSTX’s member agencies are on the firing lines, experiencing the untold, sometimes tragic stories of those underserved and frankly, ignored here in Texas. These populations don’t have financial wealth or hold political capital. To often they are left without a voice in decisions that are made for them. Many of the decisions effect the health and wellness or strip rights and equality under the cloak of assistance. CSTX member agencies provide a voice to the voiceless in these decisions !
I love Texas !, but those in control of the state legilative agenda have left far too many behind and have widened the gap between the "haves and have-nots". Our 25 member agencies confront these disparities and help those who have been forgotten to face these challenges day in and day out. They provide resources to ensure equality, justice, community education, advocacy and ensure public health and welfare to the most needy in our communities. These tireless advocates fly under the radar, quietly help and mostly go unrecognized for all they do. They do it because they believe in their work.
As a Texan, I am deeply grateful for the unrelenting efforts and determination our members go through to make a difference ! CSTX compiments and enhances these efforts with essential programming and support to our member agencies. We advocate on behalf of our progressive organizations for access to public employees like many of the more well known and popular charities. As non-profits, our member agencies do paramount work with very little program capital and could do more with your help.
MAKE A DIFFEENCE and GIVE NOW ! Help keep the work of the agencies moving ahead, with a $25, $50, $75 or $100 contribution. Your contribution will provide more assistance to the disadvantaged communities, economically challenged and underserved populations in Texas. With one donation to Community Shares of Texas you will help 25 progressive organizations all at the same time.
Help us provide the support and resources that will ensure our groups can keep going in these challenging economic times.
Thank you,
Brian T. Roe
CSTX Executive Director
