One Houston

Organizing for Justice. Building Civic Power.

Overview
One Houston is a coalition of community members, schools, faith institutions, and nonprofit partners working to build civic power for social justice across the Greater Houston area. Through grassroots organizing and leadership development, One Houston empowers everyday people to take action on issues that directly affect their lives—from education equity and housing to voter access and public safety.

Why It Matters
At The Change Lab, we believe real change starts at the community level, when people come together to organize around shared values and common concerns. One Houston embodies that vision by equipping residents—especially those most affected by injustice—with the tools, training, and relationships to hold systems accountable and push for solutions rooted in lived experience.
