Houston Democracy Project At Tejano Democrats Houston Endorsement Meeting

9/14/2023

The Houston Democracy Project was at the Houston Tejano Democrats municipal candidate endorsement meeting this evening.

They had a good crowd and it was a lively session. There were many strong rank & file democracy advocates ready to insist that candidates and elected officials fight for us as we confront rising authoritarianism locally and across the nation.

The Houston Democracy Project is out every day (And on the phone or the Zoom call from home!), making the case for democracy as a top issue in '23 Houston city politics. I had conversations tonight & advocated for a few City of Houston candidates who have made protection of democracy an issue in their campaigns.

Please support the Project as we work together to inspire, organize and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions in Houston and Harris County.

There is a great deal lot of trouble ahead. We must face the reality of our situation & find our way to each other while there is still time.

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple 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 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.
