About this organization
Mission
Deeds Not Words seeks to elevate the voices and power of young women through civic engagement and advocacy training, providing them the tools and skills that they need to make change at the local and state level, creating a more gender equal world.
About
Deeds Not Words now has 19 chapters at high schools and colleges throughout Texas. Through those chapters, we have trained young women to make change on their college campuses (advocating for menstrual equity, for example), at the city council level in El Paso (advocating for a resolution on positive, science based sex education) and in Austin (advocating for a paid sick leave ordinance), and on the state level where our advocates have been an instrumental part of passing 25 bills into law (focused on sexual assault reforms and mental health supports in our schools). We have also trained young women in each of our chapters about the importance of civic engagement through voter registration and participation at the ballot box.
