"The Reimagining North Main: A Corridor for All project, led by the San Antonio LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, is about more than design.

It is about resilience in the face of constraint.

It is about understanding that inclusive placemaking does not always follow a straight line, and that progress often requires adaptation rather than abandonment.

Perhaps most importantly, it is about storytelling."

📸 📼 🔙 Actor Kevin Bacon supported our Shift Your Shopping for Good promotion in 2013 (The roots of today's Shop Indie Local Holiday campaign). Thanks to the work of our core organizing team, we garnered amazing media attention through this hilarious video starring Melvin Macon.

“Placing the well-known actor at the center of the campaign is an attention grabber — one that organizers hope will encourage more people to shop local. The movement hasn’t been blessed with much star power, says Joe Grafton, chair of the Shift Your Shopping steering committee, but he hopes Bacon’s involvement will prompt millions to reconsider how they spend their money this holiday season — and think about what those choices mean for their communities.” ~ CNN Money

It doesn’t require star power to boost the Shop Indie Local movement; it takes innovation and ALL OF YOU. Let’s work to gather your community’s energy and ideas to make our next Shop Indie Local Holiday Season the best it can be. Join us!
