Welcome to ChangeAustin.org

On November 4, 2008, despite a $400,000 misleading ad bombing campaign fueled by one of the world’s largest corporations and a who’s who of Austin’s growth industry, 123,209 Austin voters (48%) voted for Proposition 2 to stop the Domain luxury mall subsidies. People had different reasons for voting for Prop 2 but the common refrain was:  “We want our city back!”

On May 9 Austin voters will have an opportunity to elect 5 out of 7 new council members, including the Mayor, who will more honestly represent Austin’s voters and small businesses.

Last November Prop 2 garnered three times the number of votes needed to win the upcoming May election by a landslide.  Austin needs a new direction.  Let’s make it happen!

Join us by pledging your vote, your time and your financial support to elect a new City Council and Mayor who will:

1. Commit to full transparency and greater public oversight of decisions with far reaching fiscal implications.

2. Champion locally owned businesses and fight to keep our dollars from leaving the community.

3. Require that development growth pays for itself and make those who benefit bear the costs.

4. Develop a publicly supported plan for our region’s transportation needs.

5. Protect the rights of citizens to petition city government, guaranteed by our City Charter and state constitution.
