Given Trouble Ahead, Let's Be Ready For Politics On The Street-Established Systems Clearly Can't Keep Us Safe

​Yesterday I stood for about two hours at the busy junction of Allen/Shepherd/Kirby with a sign saying "Trump + Musk Are Tyrants And We Must Fight Them."  Below is a selfie I took. A lot of people appreciated that I was there. That's good . People need encouragement. I know I do. 

I say this over and over--It is essential people see others willing to stand for our freedom no matter the aggression of the right. Our politics are quite possibly headed to the streets. Let's be ready for that prospect. It's pretty clear that our established systems can't keep us safe. 

Above is a picture of today's John Cornyn Houston Office Protest Week 417. We had a great team of 28 today. We are out each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. 
​
We must be ready for whatever is on the way. Recently many Houstonians spoke up and contacted the office of Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare over the wrongful arrest of citizen/activist Sarah Terrell. Our calls and e-mails were heard and the charges were dropped. 

I'll say it again-Our established systems are not keeping us safe. Republican elected officials will not stop anything. They agree with pretty much all of it. Democratic elected officials seem uncertain how to proceed.

It was great to see reports of the thousands of people at Hermann Park & on the Montrose Bridge this past weekend opposing the deportations. There is all sorts of advocacy going on in Houston /Harris County. In my view and in my hopes, it is all connected. We must find our way to each other and fight for one another. We have to be ready for the fight no matter where it takes us. 

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. ​​​​
