We’re proud to share that TOP has submitted a panel proposal for SXSW 2023 — Civic Life in 2050, Democratic Renewal or Decline?, featuring Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. We know that key in our efforts to build a democracy in Texas that looks like us and shares our values, our ideas have to be part of the zeitgeist. Being selected to participate in SXSW 2023 is one way we see shaping the larger cultural conversation about civic engagement. Plus it’d up our cool quotient. 🙂
