What we’re about
Welcome to ResistAustin, an Austin affiliate of the non-partisan ResistTrump Campaign.
- Nonviolent civil resistance has worked against dictators and authoritarian regimes - it worked for Gandhi, MLK, the Serbian democracy activists of the 1990s, and others. So we're using it.
- Our vision is a world free of tyranny. We're going to use lawful, nonviolent civil resistance to get there. Our values are Collaboration, Integrity, Nonpartisanship, and Professionalism.
- For Austin supporters and members, know your First Amendment rights as a protest organizer, protestor, or citizen journalist, because you'll be using them: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights
Upcoming events (2)
See all- Tesla Takedown - South AustinTesla - South Austin showroom , Austin, TX
Come out, ATX, it's working!
- With ❤️, #ResistAustinPlease be advised:
- These are the counterprotestors and agitators who were observed at our TT's on 3/22, 3/29, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, 5/3, and 5/17.
- "Bullhorn Bully," the serial harasser a.k.a. Will Johnson, visited Tesla South on 5/3 and returned to our protests at Tesla North on 5/17 and 5/24.
- On 5/24, Bullhorn Bully was accompanied by up to 6 members of the WTF biker club, who are documented having aggressively harassed an Austin elected official in 2020, and engaged in an act of attempted intimidation towards ResistAustin earlier this year.
- Our guidance is to completely ignore Mr. Johnson - he appears to get frustrated and lose focus when no one is engaging with him - he needs protestors to be provoked for his livestream to be entertaining to his audience.
- Please "excessively document" any suspicious or menacing behavior via photo/video and send the recordings with a brief description of your observations to our email inbox, info@resistaustin.us

Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking nonviolent action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup.
⚡Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines.
⚡ We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop Musk.
⚡Stopping Musk will help save lives and protect our democracy.The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts.
Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.#TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla
Discipline is a hallmark principle of successful nonviolent resistance movements and our movement will remain inviting and blameless if we maintain unity and discipline in the face of provocation.
