The Problem
Austin, TX has one of the country's widest racial wealth disparities. With gentrification on the rise and a skills gap in technology widening, ReThink Austin "re-thinks" the city's trajectory, preventing a further divide between the educated and uneducated, the experienced and inexperienced, and the haves and have-nots.
The spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in 2020 exacerbated inequities across Central Texas, emphasizing the importance of an equitable solution.
