We like to refer to San Antonio as a “small big city,” and it’s true. It’s also true that we are one of the most economically divided cities in the nation. All of us have big dreams for our families and children—but we don’t all have access to opportunities to make these dreams a reality. Together, we can make it better for everyone.
