The next event in Austin Parks Foundation’s monthly Parks Summit series will be held this evening at 6 p.m. and is titled “Parks Are Essential: Budgeting to Reflect Austin’s Values.” The organization asks, “How do budgets truly impact public assets like parks and the people who enjoy and rely on them? Learn how you can use your voice to make sure parks get the funding they deserve and that Austin creates a budget that reflects our city’s values.” The event features Andrew Hairston, the School-to-Prison Pipeline project director from Texas Appleseed, and two staffers from the parks department. RSVP here and get a reminder.
