Our vision is a Dallas where no North and South divisions exist in terms of race, wealth, arts, culture, health, safety, education and opportunity, and communities actively, honestly and openly acknowledge, repair and heal from its past and present racial inequities.

Your gifts on #NTxGivingDay will help build a new #DallasTRHT Community Resilience Fund to support healing justice for those impacted by the trauma of racism.

Donations will be matched up to $10k. Visit the link in our bio for more information and to donate. #HowWeHeal
