A great appreciation to the COEP council, mayor, & other city officials who granted us and the Eagle Pass Public Health Coalition the utilization of a city center for coalition programming and operational matters.

For The Support Hub, the center will provide a dedicated space for our free youth mental health support services, peer-led educational programming, leadership development opportunities, group therapy sessions, and access to mental health resources designed to support prevention and early intervention efforts.

We are equally excited to share this space with the Eagle Pass Public Health coalition as they also continue expanding community health and wellness initiatives that benefit our residents across Maverick County.

We are grateful for the city’s support and their belief in the work being done by both coalitions. Together, we look forward to creating a welcoming space where youth, families, and community members can connect, learn, grow, and thrive.💙

CTA Dinner Meeting Highlights Community Engagement
and Voices of Lived Experience in EP

By Jose G. Landa

The Community Transformation Alliance (CTA) held a dinner meeting on Tuesday with Eagle Pass Mayor Aaron Valdez to discuss the city’s outlook, with a strong focus placed on community engagement and the importance of including residents with lived experience in local decision-making conversations.

The meeting served as a space for open dialogue between city leadership and CTA members, with emphasis on ensuring that everyday residents—especially those who have directly experienced social and economic challenges in the community—have a voice in shaping policies and future city initiatives.

CTA members highlighted that meaningful progress comes when local government officials actively listen to people’s lived experiences, particularly those from neighborhoods and families who are often closest to the issues affecting housing, services, and quality of life in Eagle Pass.

Mayor Valdez engaged in discussions centered on strengthening communication between residents and City Hall, while acknowledging the importance of continued collaboration with community-based organizations like CTA to better understand on-the-ground realities.

Participants notied that the conversation was not only informative but also productive in building trust and reinforcing the idea that community engagement must include all voices—especially those who have firsthand experience with the challenges being addressed.

Cena-reunión de la CTA destaca la participación
comunitaria y las voces de la experiencia vivida en EP

La Alianza para la Transformación Comunitaria (CTA, por sus siglas en inglés) celebró el martes una cena-reunión con el alcalde de Eagle Pass, Aaron Valdez, para dialogar sobre las perspectivas de la ciudad, poniendo un fuerte énfasis en la participación comunitaria y en la importancia de incluir a los residentes con experiencia vivida en las conversaciones sobre la toma de decisiones a nivel local.

La reunión sirvió como un espacio para el diálogo abierto entre los líderes de la ciudad y los miembros de la CTA, con el objetivo de asegurar que los residentes cotidianos —especialmente aquellos que han experimentado directamente los desafíos sociales y económicos de la comunidad— tengan voz en la formulación de políticas y en las futuras iniciativas de la ciudad.

Los miembros de la CTA destacaron que el progreso significativo se logra cuando los funcionarios del gobierno local escuchan activamente las experiencias vividas por las personas, particularmente aquellas provenientes de barrios y familias que, a menudo, son quienes están más cerca de los problemas que afectan la vivienda, los servicios y la calidad de vida en Eagle Pass.

El alcalde Valdez participó en conversaciones centradas en fortalecer la comunicación entre los residentes y el Ayuntamiento, al tiempo que reconoció la importancia de mantener una colaboración continua con organizaciones comunitarias —como la CTA— para comprender mejor las realidades sobre el terreno.

Los participantes señalaron que la conversación resultó no solo informativa, sino también productiva para fomentar la confianza y reforzar la idea de que la participación comunitaria debe incluir todas las voces, especialmente aquellas que poseen experiencia de primera mano respecto a los desafíos que se están abordando.

Yesterday’s Community Transformation Alliance (CTA) social with Mayor Aaron Valdez was a meaningful reminder of why this work matters.

I was proud to see our PLE staff and board members share their purpose, vision, and commitment to strengthening community voice and voter engagement. Their growth reflects the power of leadership development, continuous learning, and creating opportunities for people to lead and use their voice.

We also appreciate Mayor Aaron Valdez for sharing his vision for our city and for his openness to building partnerships that help elevate the voices, needs, and aspirations of our beloved community.

This is community transformation in action.
