43% of Texans are under the age of 30, and 63% of them people of color. Our state is getting younger, more diverse, and more progressive every day. In 2018, those young folks showed up to flex their electoral power. Youth turnout tripled in Texas between 2014 and 2018, a surge that is changing the conversation about politics in Texas. Join this new millennial voting bloc for an evening of cocktails and conversation.
Young people are not just the future of Texas, we are the present – and it’s time our politics reflected that notion.

If we want a better future for this community, it begins with lifting up our young people and having a good time while doing it.
