Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar-Next Action Is When You Organize It

Please CONTRIBUTE

​







Below is the current, Thursday, 8/21, Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar.

​Please share it around and tell folks this resource exists. Please leave a comment or message me if I'm missing something. I feature autonomous actions outside the networks of elected officials & traditional organizing groups. 

The next action is when you organize it. The First Amendment is your permit. The only credential you need is your existence. You don't need to feel confident to proceed. Voting is not going to be enough. 

Here is the list: 

Friday, 8/22—Weekly protest organized by Marsha Kamish at the Social Security office at 13302 Westheimer from noon to one. They get a decent crowd and strong support from passers-by.

Saturday, 8/23-Houston 50501 banner drop. Details-

​We're holding a high visibility banner campaign over I69 this Saturday 23 August from 10AM - Noon. We will meet at Will Weber Baseball Field first, then set-up on the nearest bridge together. Please join us to promote the upcoming Houston Coalition Labor Day March 2025 on September 1st. We could use help holding banners and large signs...and more eyes on our surroundings for safety.
