It is with deep gratitude that Every Texan announces the departure of our CEO, Marisa Bono. On March 2, 2025, Marisa will transition to a new role at the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services (TACFS), where she will continue to champion the values Every Texan holds dear — improving the lives of children, youth, and families in Texas.
In the last five years, with Marisa’s guidance, Every Texan has transformed to better center the voices of the communities most impacted by our work. From the People’s Budget and our first union contract, to a new strategic plan and theory of change, we’ve worked tirelessly to keep Texans at the heart of our policy making.
As we move through this transition, our existing team and new team members are excited to continue working in chorus to boldly mobilize the Every Texan mission. We are committed to the work ahead and ensure that our promise to build a more equitable and thriving Texas is unshakeable.
Forward in the fight,
The Every Texan Team
