Contact Houston City Council Dems & Ask They Attend June 14 Protest-Padilla Shows They Are No Safer Than Us

Please CONTRIBUTE

​








​Elected officials can see as clearly as the rest of us how Senator Alex Padilla was handcuffed & that they are no safer than any of us. Above you see Senator Padilla pinned down by law enforcement officers. 

Elected officials should encourage people to attend June 14 protests, attend even if they are not speaking & stand up to Greg Abbott if National Guard troops are sent to Houston for the June 14th protests.

There is a No Kings Protest at Houston City Hall on the 14th from ten to noon. Call or e-mail Houston City Council Democrats and ask them to go to the protest.

Tell them freedom begins at home & Houston City Councilmembers must fully join the fight. Tell them that cuts to NASA, the National Weather Service, FEMA & to research at the Texas Medical Center directly impact Houston. You can say that ICE is disappearing people and that you want to live in a free society. 

Here is contact information for the ten Houston City Council Democrats:

Here are Council district maps so you can see who represents you. Both at-large Councilmembers represent the entire city. Martha Castex-Tatum is Mayor Pro-Tem which is the number two official in the city after Mayor Whitmire. It would be fair to see her a citywide representative. All would be happy to send you a fundraising pitch no matter where you live & some may run for other offices in the future. 

We are past the point where we can afford to view Houston City Council as non-partisan & it is overdue that Councilmembers play a more active role outside of City Hall. We need them and they need us. We must all be in this fight together.

Public comment time at Houston City Council is each Tuesday at 2 PM. Here is how you can speak at Council and here is how to contact your councilmember.  The earlier before the session you sign up, the higher up on the speaker's list you'll be. The agenda session to conduct Council business is each Wednesday at 9 AM. The agenda is posted in advance. Council can be watched live on HTV Houston Television and the most recent session is available at any time on the HTV feed on Facebook. Here is the link to past sessions of Council.

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. ​​
