TexAN is a collaborative effort among environmental, conservation and other public interest organizations throughout the state to educate and mobilize their membership utilizing a state of the art electronic action alert system.  Our coalition includes:

Environmental Defense:
Environmental Defense, a leading national nonprofit organization, represents more than 300,000 members. Since 1967, we have linked science, economics, and law to create innovative, equitable, and cost-effective solutions to the most urgent environmental problems.

League of Conservation Voters, Education Fund:
The LCV Education Fund is dedicated to unleashing the power within all of us to make a difference for the environment.  By empowering people and promoting collaboration among environmental, conservation, and other allied groups, we can, and do, help transform popular support for the environment into lasting environmental policy.  Established in 1985, the LCVEF was charged with conducting research and training programs that increase the knowledge and skills of environmental leaders, advocates, and elected officials.  In 1995, LCVEF expanded its outreach by launching a grassroots initiative to strengthen and energize the environmental movement's base of citizen support.  LCVEF's 15-member Washington, DC staff currently supports 20 field staff employees serving the needs of advocates in 29 states.
