Rescind the decision to offer the Citizen State Bank building to oak park regional housing

The Issue

Heartland Alliance and Oak Park Regional Housing were awarded the most ornate building on the West Side. They are expecting $38 Million in public subsidies to do it. They did not hold any community meetings and not connected to the people/culture of Austin. Even the local alderman claims to be left out the decision. We must stand for this economic injustice. 

- Don’t be fooled by outsiders who use blackPeople to get your land for others.

- Oak Park Housing is for Oak Park people.

- Our own people built this country and can build our community.

- Don’t let Oak Park take our Bank and claim they’re giving us jobs!

- Austin Community Stakeholders says that Austin’s people can build Austin. 

- Tell Oak Park housing and Heartland Alliance to stay out of Austin.
