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.

Guests A-Z :

Mayor Pro-Tem Natasha Harper-Madison represents Austin’s District 1, the part of town where she was born and raised.

Her upbringing endowed her with an intimate knowledge of her community’s strengths and its unique struggles. The lessons she learned as a successful small business owner on the Eastside led her down a path towards advocacy. She served as president of the East 12th Street Merchants Association and also founded East Austin Advocates, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting under-represented residents with the resources they need to succeed.

Her community-level activism sparked Council Member Harper-Madison’s interest in seeking public office, a goal she achieved with her first campaign for City Council in 2018.

She is the chair of the Health and Human Services Committee and sits on the Housing and Planning Committee, Judicial Committee, and Regional Affordability Committee.

In between championing the interests of her constituents, Council Member Harper-Madison is the proud wife of an Austin firefighter, the mother of four children, and a thriving breast cancer survivor.
