Creating More Voters and Better Citizens

Why Bother? Engaging our Changing City

En Español aqui

As Austin grows and thrives, our city is becoming more diverse. Latinos, African-Americans, and Asians now make up over 50% of our residents. Yet this diversity isn't reflected among citizens who vote.

Join us for a review of the trends, and lend your voice during citizen roundtables to discuss how to get everyone engaged in our city's future.
