Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar, 9/19-9/27

​





​Below is the current, 9/19-9/27, Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar.

Please tell folks this resource exists & leave a comment or message me if I'm missing something. I mostly 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, 9/19 & Friday, 9/26—Weekly protest organized by Marsha Kamish at the Social Security office at 13302 Westheimer from noon to one. They get strong support from passers-by at a busy intersection. There is parking. 

Saturday, 9/20--Make Billionaires Pay, 21010 Katy Freeway, noon-1. This is a very visible spot and there is parking in the convenient Holiday Inn lot. Bring a sign opposing the oligarch takeover of the country and let the many passers-by know they are not alone in how they feel. 

Saturday, 9/20—No Mercy For Maxwell--Protest at the federal prison camp in Bryan where Ghislaine Maxwell is held. Show up to oppose a pardon to Epstein's partner. This is ten to noon at 1100 Ursuline Ave.

Sunday, 9/21--A Moment of Silence with Immigrating Youth Texas at Houston City Hall, 7:30 PM- 9:30 PM. 

Details: Join us for an evening of reflection, art, and solidarity as we honor the pain carried by displaced children and immigrant families. This gathering is a time to stand still in collective silence, create healing chalk art, and recommit to justice, dignity, and action for our communities. Bring an LED candle and come meet the movement. 

Tuesday, 9/23—Week 450 of the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest, 11:30-1 at 5300 Memorial Dr. It is important people see others like themselves standing openly and confidently for freedom no matter the aggression of the right. There are extra signs or you can bring your own. You can park on the side streets near the Black Walnut on Memorial.

You will be trespassing if you park in the shopping center with Big City Wings, unless you purchase something from one of the businesses. If you do buy something and park there, hold on to your receipt. Wherever you decide to park, make sure you’re legal! Once you have arrived, find your spot and be seen! Feel free to move around, but always stay on public property. We are a law-abiding group. Since we are individuals, you are not restricted to just this location. Some attendees like to gather in front of Crenshaw’s office.
