Community Connect: Shifting the Commission is a series of meetings where community members gather to discuss reforming the Railroad Commission. These sessions offer an open platform for diverse voices to share ideas and strategies for promoting transparency and responsible energy oversight in Texas.

RSVPInclusive decision-making is one of Commission Shift’s core values. We believe that oil and gas workers, farmers and ranchers, neighbors of oil and gas development, students of Texas’ public schools, energy consumers, and the many others that are affected by the oil and gas industry in Texas deserve stability, safety, clean air, and clean water.
Having a strong democracy includes more than showing up to the polls. Our state can achieve better results in rulemakings, strategic plans, permit proceedings, and more when the public is meaningfully engaged, authentically listened to, and when their needs are incorporated into decisions.
