The Ides of March! We are taking action at Tesla.
⚡ Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines.
⚡ Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk.
⚡ Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us—not politicians, not the media.
#TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla
Thanks to everybody who came out to our events on Saturday March 1st and March 8th!
Update March 12th:
-There is a possibility of inclement weather this Saturday so we urge everyone to plan ahead. Bring and wear weather-appropriate clothing. In the case of serious, severe weather including but not limited to thunderstorms and tornado warnings, this event, which is outdoors, will not happen. Please do not put yourself or your loved ones at risk due to inclement weather!
-These protests will be scheduled for every Saturday at 11 AM for the immediate future so if you can't make it, don't worry! Unfortunately we may have to do this for a while.
Couple of things to note:
- I will bring water, energy bars, and a few signs. Bring your own signs, please! Feel free to bring any other supplies you deem necessary, and of course tell your friends and family! Let's get enough people to stretch all the way from the front of the Tesla Service Center up to Blankenbaker Parkway!
- There's a sidewalk in front of the Tesla Service Center at 11701 Gateworth Way. This is where we'll meet Saturday and we should limit ourselves to being on this sidewalk as much as possible at all times so as not to be in any danger of being arrested for trespassing on private property.
- The Staybridge Suites hotel across the street seems to have ample parking. They do not seem to have any issue with any of us parking there. Participants also parked on Gateworth Way. If parking on Gateworth Way, please park on the opposite side of Gateworth Way from the Tesla Service Center, and not in front of the sidewalk.
- This protest is only meant to be provocative and confrontational with 1st Amendment-protected speech and signs. We want to convince Tesla owners that they've made a bad investment, and the public at large that Tesla is a bad company owned by a South African Nazi destroying our federal government, so please don't block anyone driving a Tesla into or out of the Service Center Parking Lot. A good thumbs down to any Tesla driver works wonders IMHO. There may be some provocative and confrontational responses to our protest -- I'm always expecting at least a seig heil or two -- but let's not cede our emotions to these fascists!
- We will also be talking Saturday with participants about how we can pressure the Kentucky Retirement Systems into divesting from Tesla.
