Every Texan

The greatest resource in the state of Texas is its people. Yet, too many Texans can’t access the conditions they need to thrive — good health care, education, and jobs. Many of the people who make Texas so incredible can’t fully contribute to its prosperity. They experience unfairly limited access to the conditions that enable Texans to thrive.

Based in Austin, Texas, Every Texan is an organization pursuing social justice through public policy. Every Texan envisions a Texas where people of all backgrounds can fulfill their potential and contribute to the Texas community.

Every Texan is known for its combination of credible and deep subject matter expertise with accessible information and data to support both policymakers and other advocates, with a focus on health care, food security, education, jobs and financial security, and budget and taxes.

For over 35 years, Every Texan has offered knowledge, solutions, and tools to help leaders and advocates more easily and thoroughly understand, discuss, and make decisions about public policy. The Benedictine Sisters of Boerne, Texas founded Every Texan, formerly known as the Center for Public Policy Priorities, with deep roots in social justice.
