The main result of the paper is a formula for the fundamental group of the coarse moduli space of a topological stack. As an application, we find simple formulas for the fundamental group of the coarse quotient of a group action on a topological space in terms of the fixed point data. In particular, we recover, and vastly generalize, results of Armstrong, Bass, Higgins and Taylor and Rhodes.
