It Is Important We Show Up For Democracy No Matter What

​








​Steve Norris of Brazoria County has been going to Hermann Park each Saturday from noon to one with the sign you see above. He is a semi-retired professor. He is at the roundabout near the statue of Sam Houston. He has extra of the those signs that he paid for on his dime for people who join him. Steve is on the right & I'm on the left.  

I've been out there with Steve for I think five of the 8 weeks he has been in the park. Others have taken part as well. Most reactions are positive . A few people have been negative. But nothing aggressive. 

Steve says that some people he knows have expressed interest in coming out to the park, but are afraid something bad would happen. Each week I've been part of his effort, one or two people have come up to us and asked if we are nervous. We are not nervous. That doesn't mean somebody won't someday get very angry. But we are not nervous.

It's important that people see others like themselves willing to put themselves out there. The right wants us to be afraid. We can't be afraid.

Please join Steve at Hermann Park. In addition to voting, we must be willing to show up and proceed in whatever ways required to combat the anti-democratic right.
