Stealing Back
Texas
Texas is being plundered in plain sight.
Powerful interests are selling off our state and sticking us with the damage. They drain our water, poison our air, and wreck our landscapes and our politics. For decades, they have worked to build a Texas where they get rich while the rest of us are left poorer, sicker, and more divided.
But we believe Texas can be freer, fairer, and healthier than the one they are trying to leave us. We’re dragging that theft into the light. And we’re building the crew that steals the state back.
What We Do
Future Heist investigates the theft, traces the pattern, connects the dots, and gets the story out.
We connect fights over waste, water, land, energy, and pollution so Texans who have been kept separate can find each other, compare notes, and build power together.
Ranchers are fighting land grabs for pipelines. Parents are worried about industry exposing their kids to forever chemicals. Communities are getting battered by disasters and watching their water disappear. Families are paying the price while Big Everything gets even bigger.
We dig up what’s happening, put that information into the right hands, and help bring local fights to statewide attention.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re raising the flag for Texans — and allies — who love this land and are sick of being treated like collateral damage.
We’re looking for organizers, creators, reporters, and ordinary citizens ready to take a stand and help build a state we can all be proud of.
