Calls to Action

At SA2020 we believe everyone is capable of affecting change. Following the original visioning process in 2010, San Antonio made incremental progress in teen birth rate, high school graduation, healthcare access, employment, and more by taking collective responsibility for advancing Community Results. We also know that serious work remains, and the COVID-19 crisis continues to exacerbate systemic and racial inequities.

How might you help make the greatest impact toward San Antonio’s Community Vision over the next ten years?
