As the final installment in our series exploring the displacement of Black and Indigenous communities through highway development in Austin, Rethink35 invites you to an afternoon of collective action and visioning.

This isn’t just a panel—it’s a collaborative conversation. Together with local advocates, residents, and thought leaders, we’ll reflect on the insights from our previous discussions (panel attendance is not mandatory!) and shift the focus toward solutions. How can we reclaim space, protect culture, and demand justice?

Bring your ideas, your voice, and your community spirit. Let’s imagine—and begin building—a more just and inclusive future for Austin.
