Give Momma The Money Crusade

The Birth of the “Give Mama The Money” CrusadeIn 2025, Texas passed the largest school choice bill in the nation—a billion-dollar Education Freedom Accounts (ESA) program. For Pastor Tatum, this was not political victory; it was a moral breakthrough.Now he is leading a statewide movement to ensure Black, Brown, rural, urban, and working-class families understand how to access these funds. His rallying cry is simple, righteous, and unforgettable:“Give Mama the Money.” Because parents—not systems—are best positioned to choose the safest, strongest, and most suitable schools for their children.A New Frontier: Faith-Based Microscools and Community InnovationToday, Pastor Tatum is working alongside school choice pioneers to establish faith-based microschools in Black churches and underserved neighborhoods. His goal is bold but attainable:to build a new educational ecosystem rooted in culture, faith, literacy, opportunity, and hope.Empowerment Community Development Corporation's Empowerment Mondays program:
