Save Austin Now is the nonpartisan citizen’s group dedicated to Austin’s quality of life. After dedicating 2 years to reversing the disastrous deregulation of homeless encampments, we’re just getting started.
We’ve worked on reversing bad city council policies and providing real solutions to issues like the deregulation of camping, out-of-control crime after de-funding law enforcement, and endlessly skyrocketing property taxes.
