9th Anniversary Of John Cornyn Houston Office Protest-We Must Organize Ourselves

1/29/2026

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSTON DEMOCRAcy Project

We had 64 for the nine year anniversary of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest this past Tuesday.
We are going to have to show up for ourselves.

When Abbott takes over our elections and we can't trust the vote count, when the federal government commits outrages in Houston/Harris County (ICE is here now), when Trump suspends civil liberties--It will be us on the street. Just like in Minnesota.

We've sustained the protest for nine years with no funding and by showing up.

There is a lot of trouble ahead. Let's be ready to meet the moment. Just like in Minnesota. We will have few reliable partners outside our self-organized selves. Especially here under Abbott and Whitmire.

Please join us each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr.

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.

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 on Egberto's YouTube channel.
