What is Project Unity?
Project Unity is a collaborative movement based on the faith-driven belief that what unites us is greater than what divides us. Our core focus is building and sustaining community. Our mission is fulfilled through dialogue, community building events and activities, education and empowerment.
Through our Together We Dine and Together We Can programs, we are providing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion solutions to companies and organizations that are seeking to provide unique experiences and resources to their employees.
Our Roots
In 2014, Pastor Richie Butler hosted a community forum on policing and race relations at St. Paul United Methodist Church that included the former Dallas Police Chief David Brown, former District Attorney Craig Watkins and Sheriff Lupe Valdez. As a result of that forum, he was convicted to launch an initiative to address the divides in our community and the country. That initiative is called Project Unity.
Project Unity has been leading efforts to unify Dallas by implementing a suite of programs themed "Together We" that addresses our efforts to build and sustain community, provide a forum for safe conversations on race relations and improve relations with law enforcement.
Project Unity has been leading efforts to unity Dallas by implementing a number of community building programs to help heal race relationships between law enforcement and Dallas citizens.
