Direct Action and Mutual Aid

Welcome to the front lines of secular compassion! If you’ve been looking for a way to turn your humanist values into tangible action, we invite you to join the Atheist Vanguard, the dedicated community service arm of the Atheist Community of Austin. While the ACA has a long history of vibrant discussion and media, the Vanguard is where we roll up our sleeves to focus on mutual aid, advocacy, training, and direct action. We believe that "good without a god" isn't just a philosophy, it’s a commitment to showing up for our neighbors, communities, and allies, in order to build a stronger, more supportive world through collective effort.

At the Atheist Community of Austin, we believe that every bit helps, and that everyone can help in their own way. "Diversity of Tactics. Diversity of Means". We appreciate every contribution, whether that is through volunteering, financial support, or just spreading the word about what we do. Together we can help fight for a more reasonable, compassionate, and empathetic world!
