​There were 31 people today at Week 434 of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. Above you see the group today. 

The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest is each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. 

It is essential that people see others like themselves willing to stand openly and confidently for freedom mo matter the aggression of the right. 

Street protest will be important in the challenging days ahead. The June 14 protests will be big. Find one near you. 
​

Some questions the Houston Democracy Project continues to ask--

* With HPD cooperating with ICE, what process is in place to make certain Houstonians will receive due process & not be sent/disappeared to places like the El Salvador torture prison?

 * If/When the Trump Administration moves forward with threats to civil liberties such as the suspension of habeas corpus, will HPD resources be used to assist Trump? 

Each of us are the main act. The institutions and the electeds are not able to protect themselves or keep us safe. There is little reason to trust they will take risks for us. 

Tomorrow is the 36th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. 

Of course it can happen here. Trump wanted to use the military during the George Floyd protests. Trump is less restrained in this term than he was in his terrible first term. 

I am going to show up and show up and show up no matter the challenges ahead. I believe nothing is going to be more important than showing up and showing up. 

​Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight back. 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. ​​

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.

    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 eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.
