<blockquote><p>The Texas Organizing Project Education Fund, a labor-affiliated group looking to make inroads in right-to-work Texas, launched the Hurricane Harvey Community Relief Fund in the wake of the flooding that has devastated the Houston area. The donation page says the fund will &#8220;move the material aid the most vulnerable hit by Harvey,&#8221; but that &#8220;material&#8221; goes beyond standard humanitarian aid. Donations, the page says, will help the SEIU-funded group organize workers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your donation is vital to ensuring that we have the resources we need to organize and fight for Texans devastated by Hurricane Harvey,&#8221; the page says.</p></blockquote>
<p>The fund raising is being done by the <a href="http://organizetexas.org/contact-us/about-top/mission/" target="_blank">Texas Organizing Project</a>, a group whose &#8220;mission&#8221; is to promote &#8220;social and economic equality for low to moderate income Texans through community and electoral organizing.&#8221;</p>
