Some Houston Democracy Project notes:

* I'm the guest speaker at the March Oak Forest Democrats meeting. 

Here is how the club describes the meeting:

Come join your friends at Oak Forest Area Democrats as we hold our March 2025 General Membership Meeting. It will be held on Monday March 3 at the Spaghetti Western at 1951 W TC Jester Blvd 77008 at 7pm (Social hour starts at 6pm) We are pleased to be hosting Neil Aquino from Houston Democracy Project as our featured speaker. See you there!

I'll talk about the Houston Democracy Project & the weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. I appreciate the opportunity to address the group as a rank & file activist. I'll be talking about our strength as the people who hold the party together and lead the party. Please come to the meeting and take part & consider joining the club when there.

* Above you see notice for a protest at Houston City Hall on President's Day, February 17th. It's being put on by 50501. 

50501 held a series of protests at state capitols on February 5th. I was wary at first. It was not clear who the organizers were and the group came out of the blue. (Not that being around for awhile merits implicit trust.) Since the 5th, I've joined the Discord account of 50501 and I think they are real and sincere. I don't know if they are effective or if it will go anywhere. But they are out there and trying. Street protest is important & is something we need to be in the practice of as Trump ignores the courts and threatens civil liberties. 

I'll go on Monday and see how many people they get, who speaks, how well it is run and what level of policing it receives. 

* I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later Egberto's YouTube channel.​​

Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort. ​​​​​

    I'm Neil Aquino.

    I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy. 

    I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.
