It’s time. ✨✨✨✨

Amplify Austin is officially underway, and we have 24 hours to raise $25,000 to support the long-haul work of Austin Justice Coalition.

This work exists because the community chooses to invest in it.

If AJC has ever inspired you, supported you, or strengthened our city, now is the moment to show up.

Let’s make these 24 hours count. ⏳

AJC is more than an organization to me: it’s part of my becoming.

"I walked in as a volunteer, driven by conviction but still finding my voice. Over the years, through organizing, community conversations, and leadership opportunities, I grew. Today, I serve as Executive Director, something I once could not have imagined.

I credit my hard work, yes. But I also credit an organization that made room for my growth. AJC believed in leadership development not as a slogan, but as a practice. It trusted me with responsibility. It gave me space to lead, to learn, and sometimes to fail forward.

That is what sustained, proactive movement looks like.

And that’s why this work matters so deeply to me." - Ishia Lynette, Executive Director
