Moxie
Who & What
Moxie is a group of friends working on creating a poverty informed San Antonio.
Poverty Informed: Understanding that the experience of poverty is not an individual failure but a community failure.
Moxie boldly attempts to change the narrative on poverty.
From Invisibility to Visibility.
From Survival to Celebration.
From Charity to Community Power.
1 in 5 individuals in San Antonio experience poverty or an inability to make ends meet.
In 2022, about 46% of households in Bexar County were unable to make ends meet.
Moxie understands that San Antonio runs on the creativity, resilience and labor of the people experiencing poverty. We look to co-create innovative poverty informed solutions to community problems.
Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.
