Our mission is to DEFEND DEMOCRACY.
We are a coalition of individuals and grassroots organizations who work together to host events and harness the power of Central Texans to defend democracy. We are a big tent of patriotic Americans, welcoming all who want to work on civic engagement and self-governance.
We will overcome. With 3.5% of the country mobilized for sustained nonviolent resistance, we are guaranteed to take back our country and rebuild a beautiful democracy reflective of labor, diversity, and community care. We’re not promising it will be quick or easy, but together we will build a beautiful future America.
Join us to #resist, take direct action, get resources, and find protective community! We are a non-partisan pro-democracy 501(c)3 nonprofit elevating the civic power of Central Texans.
Our resistance is sustainable through community and collaboration. Our 1st amendment-oriented events include rallies, marches, civic engagement, resource distribution, creative direct actions, concerts, an anti-fascist bookclub, and more. Get on our newsletter list and stay tuned for direct action, resistance resources and community events.

July flood mutual aid
Hands Off Central TX is continuing to raise funds and resources for mutual aid including housing, food, transportation (gas) and medical needs for Central Texans affected by the July 4 flood.
Supplies are being distributed based on asks from the Texans affected by the floods with an emphasis on needs not being filled by other organizations and local government.
If you or your business can offer resources other than cash (housing, vehicles, clothing, medical supplies, water, food, pet supplies +) please email us at president@handsoffcentraltx.org.
Thank you for caring for our community. See a timeline of our efforts.
