It’s no secret that, in the aggregate, Austin has done exceptionally well economically in recent decades. It’s also no secret that the benefits of this overall prosperity have been unevenly distributed, to say the least. In recent decades, economic inequality has grown throughout the country, decreasing economic opportunity for millions of Americans.
The First Regional Economic Equity Development Plan
Austin, Texas has long been one of the nation’s fastest growing cities, and over the last decade, it has been known for its strong economy and increasing diversity. What is not so well known is that Austin shows how a growing population and economy does not equally lift up all people. In fact, Austin is an example that even with growth, historically disenfranchised communities like African Americans and Latinos can be left further and further behind.
Your support will change the Austin region for decades to come.
