Password: YRTXArts20 Hear from our inspiring panel of changemakers as they discuss the impact and opportunity of today's youth to be a powerful force for good. In light of the devastating health and economic crises that have rocked our nation this year, the stakes for future generations are higher than ever. We will be bringing together artists and activists with youth leaders for a truly collaborative discussion on how we can amplify creative and diverse youth voices in our current social and political landscape. After the panel, treat yourself to stellar performances streamed LIVE by some of Austin's amazing musicians/activists. You are encouraged to dance and sing long in the comfort of your own home, and stay tuned for a special surprise presentation from our youth at the end of the evening! This virtual panel and dance party will benefit Youth Rise Texas, a nonprofit that uplifts teens harmed by criminalization and deportation so that they may heal, learn, and lead. All ticket proceeds will fund this year's online civic engagement summer program and direct emergency cash assistance to struggling local families, and you will have opportunities to securely donate online during the celebration.
