SUMMARY:Bird Walk With Travis Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Join Rachel Zierzow and TTC staff\, Jonatan Salinas\, to find birds and observe their behavior on the new section of the Butler Trail\, the Holly Trailhead\, historically part of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant at Festival Beach. Recently planted native trees\, shrubs\, wildflowers\, and natural spring water dominate the landscape and provide excellent habitats for many different species of birds. As TTC restores this new section of the trail\, we will see a change of birds\, so you’ll want to come on this monthly walk. \nThis bird walk is ideal for beginners\, but all levels are welcome. We have binoculars to lend to anyone that doesn’t have a pair. Our walk will total 1-2 miles in about 3 hours\, making our way through the Holly Trail and adjacent to Lady Bird Lake to listen to and look for resident birds\, migrants\, and flyovers. The terrain is mostly flat (dissolved gravel trail and sidewalks) and there is ADA accessibility at the Holly Trail Overlook.  In winter\, we will stop at the Holly Trail overlook section of the trail a bit to watch the waterfowl. \nRegistration is required and is limited to 10 participants. A reminder email with pertinent details will be sent before the field trip. Register HERE!

SUMMARY:Building Austin's Black Cooperative Movement
DESCRIPTION:Black communities across the U.S. and the world are engaging with the cooperative model as a tool for economic\, social\, and cultural liberation. In this session\, we will build on Austin’s Black co-op history to connect with the active and growing National Black Cooperative Movement. Guest speaker Assata Richards will explore an example from our neighbors in Houston\, where We Are The Ones cooperative is transforming what economic development means for Third Ward\, a historically Black neighborhood threatened by economic and social forces including gentrification. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to engage with each other to lay the groundwork for an ongoing Black-Led Cooperative study group here in Austin. \nGet your free ticket here. \n\nMore about Instructor Assata Richards \nAssata is the founding director of the Sankofa Research Institute (SRI)\, a nonprofit with a mission to “create knowledge to build community” through community-based participatory research. In addition\, as a public sociologist\, Assata serves as the Board President of the newly formed Houston Community Land Trust\, the Third Ward Cooperative Community Builders\, and the Emancipation Economic Development Council. Most recently\, she was elected as the founding board president of the Community Care Cooperative\, Houston’s first home care agency owned by caregivers and community health workers. Lastly\, she is a founding member of We Are The Ones\, a cooperative working to build a “Black Solidarity Economy\,” enabling community members to define what success is for them and hold accountable institutions that claim to act on their behalf and develop economic enterprises that fairly compensate workers and build community wealth.

SUMMARY:Create & Heal : The Art of Gospel Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Carver Museum on Saturday\, February 27\, from 6:30-9:00 PM\, for Create & Heal: The Art of Gospel – a special night of traditional gospel songs and hymns. \nGospel music emerged from the spirituals sung by enslaved Africans\, offering not only praise but a medium to express hope and endurance amid oppression. It continues to serve as a vehicle for emotional release and spiritual renewal\, whether in church choirs or public protests. \nFree and open to the public!
