Our Mission

Community Not Commodity has built a strong, diverse coalition across Austin to promote land development policies that benefit all of the city’s residents. We support bottom-up planning, strong anti-displacement programs, empirically-based decision-making, and a community-led, consensus-driven land development code that will accommodate growth and provide for true affordability. We inform the public on these issues and engage them in the governing process. We provide alerts and serve as a source of fact-based information for the people of Austin on policies and laws that will impact their communities.
