Today I presented a proclamation recognizing Amplify Austin Day. For 24 hours, our community is working to raise $10M for local nonprofits, including organizations like We Are Blood. After a hard weekend, it’s inspiring to see Austin come together. I live here. I give here.
Our heart goes out to Council Member Qadri and all of Austin after this weekend’s tragic shooting
While right-wing pundits push division, Council Member Qadri is laser-focused on centering the healing and real public safety solutions that Austin needs in this moment.

Over the weekend we honored Alex Pretti and Renée Good and the grief their loved ones carry. In times like this, we cannot look away from each other. We keep each other safe. We speak up. We stay vigilant. That’s what community must mean right now.
More than 5000 people across Texas joined us in Austin today to protest ICE.
Children taken from their families, neighbors killed in the street, individuals dying in detention.
Enough is enough.
Renee Good.
Alex Pretti.
Keith Porter, Jr.
ICE is targeting our neighbors and killing them in the streets.

Austin is a city that shows up. This weekend, as people respond to ICE, there are many ways to participate. Protest. Strike. Hold vigil. Support organizers. Take care of your community. Our strength has always been in our people and in the many ways we stand together.
Grateful for the chance to speak on a panel at the University of Chicago earlier this month and connect with students about public service, local government, and the future of our cities. These conversations leave me feeling optimistic about the future of our cities.
I’m all ears. Currently working with some immigration attorneys on something.
I was disgusted to hear that story. We are currently looking at what we might be able to do via policy. Symbolic gestures are great but I want us to bring something with teeth to protect people. We live in very troubling times.
Out of an abundance of caution, we’re rescheduling our re-election kickoff.
We don’t want anyone taking unnecessary risks just to get to an event.
Stay warm, check on neighbors, and reach out or call 311 if you are having any issues with power, trees, or any unsafe conditions.
