INVITATION: Student-led SEAT24 Summit @ Book People on Sat. April 20 & at the Texas State Capitol on Sun. April 21, 2024

Friends,

I'm thrilled to announce that Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT) is here in Austin, Texas on Friday, April 20, and Sunday, April 21st to demand a seat at the table in decisions that directly affect them.

I know there are a lot of great things happening among our youth in Texas, but this is tops! Plus, it makes enormous sense to me for young people to be accomplish this via a focus on policy. Long overdue.
