Best Activist Organization

Texas Freedom Network

Effectively, the Texas Freedom Network is the granddaughter of former Governor (and legendary fifth Golden Girl) Ann Richards. Founded by Cecile Richards in 1995, the organization in recent years has led fights to keep the Texas State Board of Education as free from ideologues as possible, protect LGBTQ freedoms, and oppose restrictions of women's reproductive rights. In a state as bloodred as Texas, TFN proves that not only can Texan progressives speak out; they will also win a few fights if they approach them with intelligence, productive action, and purpose. Sophia, Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and especially Ann would be proud.
