The Austin City Limits 2025 Music Festival lineup is out.
It's probably because I'm old that the reveal is less exciting than usual.

Worth noting that Austin City Council has ordered our police to deprioritize cannabis arrests, a policy which I don't believe would be directly affected by this court decision overturning the decriminalization ordinance.

These include: Texas Senate Bill (SB) 2876-- increases criminal penalty for participating in a riot while wearing a mask or other face covering. A “riot” is defined as a group of 7 or more people.
Clear The Air ATX requests that you email Texas senators ASAP and if you're in #Austin you can go to the Capitol 9AM Monday to give testimony or drop a card.

PREVIEW: “Becky Bullard: I'm Becky Bullard (she/her), the founder and CEO of Democrasexy, where we make it feel good to learn about power structures, and where best to apply pressure to try and change them, and also create joyful community, especially for women and queer folks in #Texas who want things to be different. My whole philosophy is that the type of change that we need to make here in Texas is gonna take a really long time. And so in order for those of us who've been doing the work to not burn out, and in order to attract new people, to have the volume of folks that we need to be creating change, it's got to feel good.”
I interviewed the founder of #Austin's "Democrasexy" about how we can keep political action playful, joyful, even sexy.
