​I'm the speaker at the Bayou Blue Democrats meeting, tomorrow, Wednesday, 4/8. The meeting is 6:30 PM-8 PM at 1800 Sul Ross.

As always when I speak, the theme will be "Empowering Ourselves.” I’ll discuss protest in the Houston-region. I’ll also talk about the ICE/HPD ordinance now before Houston City Council.

Bayou Blue Democrats serves Midtown, Montrose, Washington Ave Corridor, River Oaks, Upper Kirby and Memorial Park.

I've spoken at Democratic club, Indivisible chapter, No Kings Organizing meetings and No Kings protests across Houston & Harris County & also in Montgomery, Brazoria and Fort Bend counties. (Please someone invite me to Galveston County.)

This is all part of my work on the Houston Democracy Project.

I'd be happy to speak to your club, organization or organizing meeting. I seek to be informational & engaging. Please message me here or e-mail at [email protected]

Also, there was a good crew today for Week 478 of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. It is essential that we show up for ourselves and that others see people showing up for all of us. You see today's Cornyn Protest group picture above. The protest is each Tuesday, 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr. 

The next action is when you organize it. The 1st Amendment is your permit. The only credential needed is your presence. You don't need to feel self-confident to proceed. Voting is not going to be enough.

    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.
