2023 Future of Texas Awardee
Tiara Cooper
Tiara Cooper is an award-winning social justice leader committed to mobilizing marginalized people, uplifting their stories, and utilizing grassroots efforts to impact policy change at the municipal, state, and federal levels. Fueled largely by her own experience being handed a felony conviction as a teen, she answers the unwavering call to liberation through advocacy that centers dismantling historical systems of white supremacy, ending mass incarceration, and shedding light on felony disenfranchisement.
