Support Austin Creatives & Service Industry

On 3/6/2020, Austin leaders announced that due to the threat from coronavirus (COVID-19) SXSW would be cancelled this spring. The 2 week long event has an economic impact of $350 million for the Austin area, and those most affected by it are service industry workers, and freelance/contract creatives who rely on income for the festival to survive. They have had the rug pulled out from under them, and now they need our help.

This GoFundMe is an effort to immediately help those most affected. In the short amount of time that the fundraiser has been up, we have had over $75,000 of lost wages submitted and verified. You can read more about those affected at supportaustin.org/stories
