Emily Takes Notes--Rank & File Folks Lead The Way

6/3/2023

The Houston Democracy Project likes rank & file citizens who do the work of democracy outside official channels. Such folks--Sure I'm praising myself here. I do the work.--sometimes have more intellectual and political autonomy to move things forward.

A good example of this in Houston is Emily Hynds who authors Emily Takes Notes. Ms. Hynds watches Houston City Council meetings, takes notes and shares the notes with the public. A simple idea that is well-executed and makes a big difference.       

The Houston Democracy Project is very much about Houston City Council. Emily Takes Notes is a great resource to learn about Houston City Council.

    I'm Neil Aquino

    ​I’m a rank & file Democrat, activist and Houstonian who wants to live in a free society.  I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as paid staff for multiple Democratic 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 well over six years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy ahead.

    ​I’m a member of the Southwest Democrats, Tejano Democrats and the Houston LGBTQIA Caucus. I have a political science degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati and ran a Cincinnati City Council office.
