If you're in Austin this weekend, consider attending Freedom Fest: No Kings at the Texas State Capitol. Sounds like a fun evening for a free concert on the South lawn of the Texas Capitol.
Organized with heart and purpose by Hands Off Texas, Freedom Fest brings together an intergenerational crowd, with a special focus on young people, Gen Z organizers, and families. It's not just a concert—it's a vibrant space to connect with local grassroots groups, artists, and changemakers who are defending our democracy and imagining something better.
No better time in the wake of the U.S. Senate passing Trump's "Colossally Cruel" bill. It goes next to the U.S. House of Representatives and we need to count ourselves as among the pushback.
Whether you come for the music or stay for the movement, Freedom Fest is a celebration of our collective refusal to bow to authoritarianism—No Kings means rejecting concentrated power and embracing people-powered democracy. Expect a joyful, welcoming atmosphere—the kind only Austin knows how to bring.
