Bayou City Waterkeeper’s policy staff recently participated in legislative briefings to share our policy priorities for the 89th Texas Legislature, in collaboration with two coalitions we are part of, Texas Living Waters and Alliance for a Clean Texas (ACT).
Through these briefings, we shared recommendations with other partners on the State Flood Plan implementation, Texas Water Fund, State Revolving Funds, and water infrastructure challenges as they relate to Houston. We also met with staffers of local representatives and senators serving our watershed. Our participation in these briefings is a tactic to grow our state advocacy and build power for our region, which is part of our current policy agenda.
Join us for a webinar on Thursday, February 20, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. to learn more about our policy demands and the development of our first-ever policy agenda. Register here.
For questions about our legislative work, please contact Guadalupe Fernandez at guadalupe@bayoucitywaterkeeper.org or Usman Mahmood usman@bayoucitywaterkeeper.org.
