Great Work Being Done Far From Houston 610 Loop-Events In Conroe & Angleton

Please CONTRIBUTE

​Above is information about a Fourth of July event in Conroe, Montgomery County for Democrats and folks on the left & below is information about a pro-democracy rally on July 12th in Angleton, Brazoria County. I am one of the speakers on July 12. The Angleton event is put on by the Southern Brazoria Democrats Club.

It's essential that the fight for democracy extend far from the city center. In the recent June 14th No Kings protests, there were well-attended events in Katy, League City, Jersey Village, Kingwood, Conroe and Huntsville. 

These successful protests were volunteer-organized by rank & file folks just like you and me. (As was for the most part the No Kings rally in Downtown Houston that drew 26,000 people.) This volunteering and community participation also involves assuming the physical risks of challenging an authoritarian, white supremacist opponent. The Patriot Front showed up at the Kingwood No Kings event. 

There is a lot of energy and great work being done throughout Houston away from the center city & well out into Harris County and neighboring counties.

There is a weekly protest each Friday at noon at the Social Security office at 13302 Westheimer. (No protest on Friday the Fourth.) This protest at an outside the loop location gets a great response from young Black and brown motorists. You wish our local political establishment had a real interest in harnessing that energy. 

My experiences and observations with the Houston Democracy Project suggest to me that people on our side of the aisle outside Houston's 610 Loop, are sometimes less connected to established power and more engaged with different ways of doing things. This is a generalization. But I feel it has some truth. 

We need everyone we can get for the challenge ahead. We've got to find all our people. There are allies everywhere. Folks in strongly-Republican areas and in parts of Houston/Harris County often left behind by conventional politics are essential in our struggle. 
​
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. ​​​​​​​
