Central Texas, working.

A regional network for climate, environment, and civic action — built around the people already doing the work.

We are a regional network for the people working on climate, environment, and civic issues across Central Texas. Not a nonprofit. Not a coalition. A place to find each other, share what's happening, and move.

We are heading into another Texas legislative cycle. Between now and then we have to know each other, know what we're working on, and know what's worth fighting for.

This is the open notebook for that work.

A working session, not a conference.

On September 4, the second annual Central Texas climate summit. Speakers, yes. But the real work happens in the room: small groups, hard questions, named actions, follow-up that doesn't dissolve when the lights come up.
