Community Movement Builders condemns in the strongest possible terms the criminal military aggression unleashed by the United States government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on January 3, 2026. This unprovoked assault, marked by bombings of civilian and military infrastructure, violations of Venezuelan sovereignty, and the unlawful seizure of the country’s elected leadership, constitutes an act of imperial war and a flagrant violation of international law.

✨ What an Incredible Day of Giving! ✨

Today, we partnered with CIVN for their 7th Annual Giving Gala at Dallas College – Cedar Valley Campus, and it was truly a powerful moment of community, compassion, and service. 🎁

From start to finish, the event brought people together with a shared purpose to give back and support families during the holiday season.

For months, our community has asked the City to install a much-needed street light on Basswood Drive to improve safety, visibility, and peace of mind for our neighbors. After multiple requests went unanswered, Community Movement Builders and local residents decided it was time to take action ourselves.

We are launching this GoFundMe to raise the funds needed to install a safe, reliable street light that will serve the families of Basswood Drive especially our children, elders, and those who walk home in the evenings.

This project is about more than a light.
It’s about community power, neighborhood safety, and showing that when the City moves slow, we move forward together.

Community Movement Builders (CMB) Dallas Chapter is urging the Dallas City Council to take immediate action to update all existing “Lamar” Freeway signs to Botham Jean Blvd, in accordance with the Council’s 2020 decision to rename the street.

Despite the vote to honor Botham Jean a beloved member of the Dallas community whose life was tragically cut short the city has yet to replace the freeway signs five years later. CMB has been in communication with Councilmember Bazaldua, who has expressed support for moving forward with the update.

“Our community deserves to see the city’s commitment to justice and accountability reflected in action, not delay,” said Talissa Shamsid-Deen, a representative of CMB Dallas. “Renaming this street was meant to be a meaningful tribute to Botham Jean’s life and legacy, and it’s time for the city to fulfill that promise.”

Community Movement Builders, a 501(c)(3) organization based in the Highland Hills community, will be speaking at Dallas City Hall soon to address this matter directly.
