Texas Association of Black Journalists

We are the Texas Association of Black Journalists, a University of Texas at Austin student organization.

Texas ABJ empowers Black students in communications by providing members with invaluable professional opportunities and fostering a community that supports, inspires and uplifts.

Last year, Texas ABJ officers attended the 2023 NABJ Convention in Birmingham with funding from the University. There, they attended panels, networked and learned more about the journalism and communications industry. The experiences gained were priceless, influencing not only our officers but also our chapter as a whole.

This year, Texas ABJ has tripled in size and has hosted numerous guest speakers on campus. However, Senate Bill 17 has caused Texas ABJ to lose financial support from the university, rendering us unable to send our officers to this year's NABJ Convention.

We’re fundraising $10,000 for the 2024 National Convention and our club’s general expenses. Click here to donate. Even a small amount makes a difference!

Your donation would go toward:

✅Hotel costs

✅ Plane tickets

✅ Convention registration fees

Any money made over this amount will go back to our chapter to cover general club expenses (e.g., food at meetings, chapter registration fees and dues, etc.).

We truly appreciate your support.

Sincerely,

Texas ABJ
