<H2>A community workshop and information exchange</H2>
Austin's current land use code is rooted in its history of racism and inequity. The City is currently re-writing the code through the process they’ve called CodeNEXT. That re-write will impact every person in Austin: our homes, businesses, roads, taxes, parking, and our environment. Rather than ignore our history, Austin’s next Land Development Code must be informed by honest dialogue.  Hear from community leaders whose neighborhoods have been torn apart by Austin’s development policies and ravaged by flooding. Join us to plan how to protect our people and our environment, and elevate our community’s needs above those of developers and politicians.
Participating organizations will be tabling and distributing literature. Small breakout sessions will allow for robust discussions. We'll end the day with opportunities to organize with your neighbors and take immediate action. Come learn about CodeNEXT and grow efforts to improve Austin's land use policies.

El actual código de uso de la tierra de Austin está enraizado en su historia de racismo e inequidad. La Ciudad está actualmente re-escribiendo el código a través de un proceso que han llamado CodeNEXT. Esa re-escritura afectará a cada persona en Austin: nuestros hogares, negocios, caminos, impuestos, estacionamiento y nuestro medio ambiente. En lugar de ignorar nuestra historia, el próximo Código de Desarrollo de la Tierra de Austin debe ser informado por un diálogo honesto.
Escuche y aprenda de varios líderes de la comunidad cuyos barrios han sido desgarrados por las políticas de desarrollo de Austin y devastados por las inundaciones. Únase a nosotros para planear cómo proteger a nuestra gente y nuestro medio ambiente y elevar las necesidades de nuestra comunidad por encima de las de los desarrolladores y los políticos.
Las organizaciones participantes presentarán y distribuirán literatura. Las pequeñas sesiones de trabajo permitirán discusiones profundas. Terminaremos el día con oportunidades para organizarse con sus vecinos y tomar medidas inmediatas. Venga a aprender acerca de CodeNEXT y haga crecer los esfuerzos para mejorar las políticas de uso de la tierra de Austin.
