What changed, who decided, what it means, and what to do next—fact-based civic information.
We're launching CivicIn7 Austin to make your city accessible to understand and straightforward to engage with.
What You'll Get Each Issue
The top local decision in ~150 words
How it affects your wallet, schools, and streets
Key dates and deadlines
Clear engagement opportunities (attend meetings, submit comments, or access resources)
Why Local Matters For Your Life Potholes on I‑35, AISD curriculum, zoning on your block, Zilker funding, fire response times, your property tax bill—these decisions are made at City Hall, county boards, and the Texas Capitol. Understanding these processes helps you engage with the decisions that directly impact your daily life.
Our Principles (Nonpartisan and Practical)
Transparency: We'll break down meetings, budgets, and votes in plain English—always with source links.
Accountability: We'll show how officials vote versus what they promised.
Objectivity: Facts first. We provide clear, factual information sourced from official records and verified through our fact-checking process to help you make informed decisions.
