Come All Ye Freedom-Loving Houstonians-XMAS Eve Day Cornyn Houston Office Protest

​Come all ye freedom-loving Houstonians!

The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest will be out for Week 411 on Christmas Eve Day, 12/24, & and Week 412 on New Year's Eve Day, 12/31. 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. Please join us! (And please  join us for our eight year anniversary on January 28th.)

The picture above is from our seven year mark at the beginning of 2024. We had high hopes back then for how the year would go. Those hopes did not pan out. But we are staying the course. 

Our consistent message over the eight years has been that while voting is essential, it will not be enough. We saw this recently in South Korea when Koreans committed to democracy showed up at the assembly building in Seoul to oppose the imposition of martial law. 

We have voted and voted and voted. We must keep on voting. But with the Musk/Trump/Vance Republican Party clearly committed to attacking freedom-as well as giving all our money to the super rich-we must be show up for ourselves. 

(And our Democratic elected officials at every level must be ready to fight for us wherever that leads. They signed up for this duty knowing the overall political situation. One way they could fight for us is to stop stop accepting low turnout in majority-Democratic municipal, legislative and Congressional districts.) 

The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest has been setting the example for 8 years now. We've been seen by hundreds of thousands of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists at our busy corner of Memorial & Detering. We have a social media following. ( We've also been watched by at least 1000 HPD units because apparently there is no crime.) We keep at it because it is essential that people see others like themselves willing to show up confidently and openly for democracy no matter the aggression of the right. We're proud to say we have no connection to any elected official or formal group. We just keep on going. 

Please join us over the holiday. We are friendly and have extra signs for all. Please feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me at [email protected] if you have a question about parking or anything. 

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.​​

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