What is the Texas Coalition for Human Rights ?

The Texas Coalition for Human Rights (TXCHR) is a broad coalition representing organizations who believe that the Israel-Palestine conflict is a human rights issue that requires an open and free debate. We object to efforts to forestall this debate by placing limits on free speech and academic freedom.  We further work to have sides of the story that are often left out of the media, public discourse and schools made part of the conversation; without them one cannot truly understand the situation.  Without understanding these perspectives we cannot truly help build peace.

TXCHR is pro-peace, pro-equal rights, and committed to work for a non-violent solution that ensures full equality and self-determination for all Israelis and Palestinians. We are also opposed to hate speech and any type of discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity or national origin, wherever it may occur, domestically or abroad.
