A Houston native, Michael Thomas has always been on the forefront of making the community around him a better place en route to his Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination. Thomas has focused on social justice issues and his approach has been two-fold, centering on advocacy and education while driving legislative change. In 2020, he created the unique design of the NFLPA's "END RACISM" pre-game warm-ups, organized a Texans players-only video calling for social justice reform and generated over $17,000 for HBCU scholarship funds by auctioning off special game memorabilia. Lastly, his annual free football camp, "Camp Mike T", is reflective of Thomas' dedication to empower young Houstonians while providing them with the additional resources to become impactful citizens in today's society.

Watch the best moments of Conversations for Change.

Texans LB Jacob Martin and Legend ND Kalu joined Houston Police Department Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner, and teens from the Greater Houston Police Activities League (GHPAL) program for a virtual dialogue on social justice and relational policing. Teens had the opportunity to ask the panelists questions and engage in a meaningful conversation about policing. The mission of GHPAL is to reduce juvenile crime and violence through "relational policing" which includes building trusting relationships between youth, law enforcement and the community. This program is part of the Houston Texans commitment to strengthen relationships between youth and police officers through positive police and community interactions.
