March Primaries: Where the Real Decisions Happen

In Texas, the primaries decide who makes it to November—but almost no one votes. In 2022, only 18% of registered voters participated, and youth turnout barely broke single digits.

This March, the Texas Voter Project is reaching young voters across both parties with bilingual, nonpartisan voter guides that explain how, where, and why to vote in the primaries—so more Texans have a say before the ballot is set.

The Midterms: Closing the Information Gap Before It Decides the Election

In Texas, young people make up one of the largest voting blocs—and one of the least likely to turn out. Many never hear about local elections until it’s too late to make an informed choice.

The Texas Voter Project is working to change that. Ahead of the 2025 midterm elections, we’ll deliver bilingual, nonpartisan voter guides to young Texans across key counties, helping them understand what’s on the ballot, how to vote, and why it matters.

By shrinking the information gap, we can make sure more young voters show up—not just in November, but in every election that shapes their future.

Save Fairy Alley

a new TxDOT policy threatens to remove community-painted streets across Texas — including Fairy Alley. Officials say these murals don’t “serve a direct traffic control function.” But to us, they serve something far more vital: belonging, joy, and the spirit that makes Austin Austin.

We believe safety and creativity can coexist. The City and TxDOT can work with residents — not against them — to preserve neighborhood art while keeping our streets safe.
