Downtown Austin Space Activation program brings in more visitors
AUSTIN (KXAN) — More people are visiting downtown Austin. According to the Downtown Austin Alliance, foot traffic is up thanks to a program it launched a year ago. The Downtown Austin Space Activation program transforms vacant storefronts and underutilized spaces into affordable options for local creatives and small businesses to host pop-up shops and events. 'We set it up in an Airbnb style sort of format, where you could activate a space at a daily rate, because we understood that people wanted space temporarily. They wanted to do events,' said DAA Chief Impact Officer Jenell Moffett. The DAA started this last summer. Since then, it has been activated more than 500 times. 'Nonprofits that have had this space to have panel discussions and community conversations,' Moffett said. 'We've also had events where there's been kids and, you know, sort of creative spaces where youth can come.' PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Downtown Austin program fills empty storefronts with pop-ups, events Moffett called their first year pop-up focused, as they tried to get more visitors into downtown. 'We have seen foot traffic increase year over year about 10% in these activated spaces.' Jenell Moffett, Downtown Austin Alliance Chief Impact Officer The DAA said half of participating businesses have been minority-owned and more than a quarter are women-owned businesses. She said moving forward, they have goals to expand into more long-term leases. 'We had several requests for longer time,' Moffett said. 'We didn't have enough spaces to actually support that demand.' The plan is to now find additional spaces. 'Additional partners, additional coaching, additional business development tools, so that these businesses can actually have the option to stay,' Moffett said. The DAA plans to release its first ever impact report for the program during an open house on July 10. People interested in participating in the program can apply online.

Indivisible Wabash Valley: On a mission to ‘remake the democracy'
WABASH VALLEY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — 'Liberty and justice for all' is the motto of Indivisible, a nationwide organization with chapters all across the United States including right here in the Wabash Valley. The organization's goal being to 'remake the democracy.' 'We just want the government to stop being a thing that is by the billionaires and for the billionaires,' said Karina Moffett, a member of Indivisible Wabash Valley. 'We want it to start being more back what we originally wanted the United States to be of the people, by the people, for the people.' Indivisible's mission is to form an inclusive, diverse lasting network of organizations that can work together. 'Indivisible nationwide is really great at getting help organizations to work together, so things like food pantries, ACLU, shelters, things like that. All sharing resources and people power in working together so they're more efficient,' said Moffett. At the Vigo County Courthouse, you can find Indivisible Wabash Valley often making their voices heard. 'People have been really disconnected from activism, from their government, and getting them to see what we are,' said Janet Wall-Myers, a member of Indivisible Wabash Valley. 'If we want our voices to be heard, we have to be active. We have to speak.' The national organization was formed in 2016 in response to the election of Donald Trump. The group states this is not about political affiliation. 'It's not that we are anti-Republican we are just pro-democracy. So, if we are against a specific politician that's because they are anti-democracy not because we are anti-republicans,' said Moffett. The group of men and women you often see protesting at the Vigo County Courthouse is Indivisible Wabash Valley, with peace as their state of mind. 'We usually don't call it a protest. We call it a rally because we like to keep it more positive if we can,' said Moffett. Indivisible Wabash Valley is always accepting new members into their organization no matter what age, background, or affiliation you come from. 'Everyone is welcome as long as you are interested in upholding the Constitution and making sure the democracy continues,' said Wall-Myers. 'It doesn't matter what political party you come from. It doesn't matter if you've been active in politics before or not.' Although there are no rules or requirements to become a member of the organization, there is one specific and important request. 'We are very focused on being nonviolent. We want to keep everything very peaceful. Like I said, we have children that come and participate with us, and we want everybody to be safe. So that's really our only requirement. Do you believe in fighting for democracy, and do you want to remain nonviolent with us,' said Moffett. Indivisible nationwide will be calling for a day of action on Saturday, July 14th. The local chapter has plans of a peaceful protest at the Vigo County Courthouse from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information on Indivisible Wabash Valley or how to support the chapter click here.
