Join Mayor Annise Parker in supporting the Houston READ Commission!

 "Houston READ Commission was established in 1988 by the Mayor and City Council to coordinate and advocate for adult literacy efforts in Houston.  I am proud to continue supporting this outstanding organization, which hopes for a 100% literate Houston, and encourage all Houstonians to familiarize themselves with its mission.  Low-literacy is the root cause of almost all social ills, including crime rates, dropout rates, joblessness, homelessness, social injustice and health issue inequities.  Education is the key to a better Houston and I am committed to supporting the organization."
