Greg Casar | Lights on Texas

February's devastating winter storm has left millions of our fellow Texans in critical need, with many of our most vulnerable neighbors struggling to meet the most basic human necessity: food. Feeding Texas and its statewide network of food banks provides a critical life raft to these families in need, but the unprecedented demand requires unprecedented support.

To help mobilize Texans around the cause, Flow Studios and Texans for Change have partnered to produce Lights On Texas, a series of thought-provoking and inspiring discussion with Texas politicos, thought leaders, musicians, food bank directors, and youth volunteers. The initial six hour livestream is presented below in segments, which we invite you to share in ongoing support of Feeding Texas.

Greg Casar is a Texas politician currently serving in the Austin City Council for District 4 since January 6, 2015. Casar is the youngest elected Austin City Council Member and a member of the Democratic Party. He was first elected in 2014, and then re-elected in 2016 and in 2020. Prior to serving on Council, he worked as policy director for the Workers Defense Project (Proyecto Defensa Laboral), where he won victories such as rest and water breaks for construction workers, living wage requirements, and against wage theft.

Casar joined Workers Defense Project shortly after graduation as a community organizer. In 2011, he led the Workers Defense Project efforts to require that construction workers be allowed to take rest and water breaks: ten minutes for each four hours worked, and no more than 3.5 hours without a break. Casar also organized against major corporations, including White Lodging, and successfully lead the fight to include living wage and other labor protections from an incentives deal the Austin City Council planned to give to Apple
