Lights Out, Texas! 2024: Expanding Advocacy, Education, and Impact

As TCA enters the fourth year of the Lights Out campaign, we’re proud to build on the program‘s successes. Many Texans now recognize the state’s critical location for migratory birds and understand the dangers light pollution poses to them. This year, Lights Out, Texas! statewide partners are also addressing the issue of glass design in urban environments - a factor that contributes to the nearly one billion bird deaths from window collisions annually.

To reach a wider audience in 2024, TCA developed several innovative programs, including the Lights Out, Texas! curriculum for 6th-8th graders and pilot initiatives on university campuses. In 2025, we’ll work with municipalities and building managers to expand Lights Out participation and advocate for bird-friendly glass.

The Lights Out campaign combines advocacy, education, and monitoring of impacts to drive meaningful change for the millions of migratory birds soaring through Texas’ skyway.
