Cap & Stitch would demand our city permanently divert resources away from affordable housing and projects to fight climate change locally! If approved, our city would be forced to pay even more for the car-centric vision of the capitalists and the far right! We need a budget that serves ALL of Austin—not just downtown developers!   More Information: The state is in the midst of wrecking OUR city with I-35 expansion. Our local elected officials on City Council and the Travis County Commissioners Court have voiced their opposition alongside an array of community groups. This project would divert millions of dollars that could be going toward Affordable housing Solar power expansion Climate resilience Improving libraries and parks in neglected neighborhoods. Additionally the project's reliance on unsecured private funding risks a credit downgrade, which would force austerity on the rest of the city. Join Us and Send a letter to the Mayor & City Council NOW—tell them to DITCH "CAP & STITCH" and invest in real solutions for our communities. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ditch-the-cap-and-stitch
