A stronger city for us all.

About Us

We are a grassroots group of Houstonians advocating for safe streets, affordable housing, and livable communities. Our organization is a chapter of  a larger national advocacy organization, Strong Towns. 

“We’ve spent two generations transforming a public realm once comprised of walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods into auto-only zones. These are places where the kids used to play ball in the street. Today a kid can’t even play safely in their own front yard.”

-Charles Marohn, Founder of Strong Towns
