Alert

Downtown Houston Stakeholders –

Tonight, a violent storm ripped through our community. Downtown suffered significant property damage, including downed trees, shattered windows, and more. At Mayor Whitmire’s direction, we’re encouraging all Downtown employers to allow their employees to work from home, Friday, May 17th, to allow clean up crews the opportunity to remove the debris. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

“Child Labour” is a mural that highlights the connection between child labor and our consumption (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8.7). Cosmetics, smartphones and electric vehicles may be emblems of the modern world, but the sparkle added to our makeup or the batteries in our electronics are frequently powered by minerals, like mica or cobalt. These minerals are mined by children laboring in slave-like conditions in Congo, India or Madagascar.
