Pooja Sethi | 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.
