For the past several months, One Voice Central Texas members have been meeting with City Council members and attending City Council/Committee meetings to urge the City to prioritize funding for programs that serve as the infrastructure of the community.

On May 28, One Voice Chair Dr. Rosamaria Murillo penned a letter to all City Council members explicitly laying out five crucial Asks for the City to take into consideration during FY27 budget decisions.

We are pleased to share that, at the time of this posting (06/16/26), Council Members Jose Velasquez, Ryan Alter, Mike Siegel, Krista Laine, Zo Qadri, and Vanessa Fuentes have signed on to support this advocacy. We will update this posting when/as other Council Members sign on in support. To view your council member’s contact information, visit this link.
