Listening for a changeThe Texas After Violence Project is an independent narrative and human rights project. We 1) listen empathetically and without judgment to people directly touched by serious violence or other serious human rights violations, the criminal justice system, incarceration, and executions in Texas; 2) digitally record and transcribe these narratives; 3) share the recordings and transcriptions to the extent, at the time, and in the manner to which individual narrators consent; so that we may 4) promote collective, critical, and constructive conversations in which communities develop more effective, just, and compassionate ways to both prevent and respond to violence. We work toward a more just and less violent Texas: a society that recognizes and affirms the dignity and value of every human being.
Listen to and watch a narrative The Texas After Violence Project is considered a "public charity" under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The project does not lobby for any specific legislation or rules, and does not provide any direct services such as counseling or legal representation, or material assistance of any kind. |
