An initiative of the East Texas Crisis Center
Men standing publicly against abuse.
And for stronger families in East Texas. The Purple Jacket Society is an advocacy, education, and ambassador initiative — not a social club.
Backed by ETCC
Built on the work of the East Texas Crisis Center.
The Purple Jacket Society operates as an official initiative of ETCC. Every dollar of dues, sponsorship, and event proceeds flows through ETCC, and ETCC keeps oversight of survivor-centered communications.
Members expand awareness of ETCC services, raise resources, build partnerships, and help create a long-term East Texas movement — not a single annual event.
