Houston Democracy Project Grassroots Freedom Calendar, 9/30-10/10--The Next Action Is When You Organize It

​Below is the current, 9/30-10/10, 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. 

There are also at the end of the listings, links for the large number of 50501 No Kings October 18 rallies across the Houston-region and beyond. These are being done by rank & file people on their own time and dime. Staging these rallies and taking part involves at least some measure of physical risk. 

Here is the list: 

Tuesday, 9/30-10/7—Week 451 & 452 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. 

Thursday, 10/2 & 10/9—Egberto Willies’ Politics Done Right broadcasts the weekly Houston Democracy Project hour from 6 AM-7 AM. Politics Done Right is on KPFT 90.1 every weekday morning from 6 to 7 & there is also Egberto’s 3 PM show on YouTube. Egberto is essential local independent media who merits support.

Thursday, 10/2 & 10/9--Weekly protest at office of Dan Crenshaw, 10 AM-11 AM, at intersection of Kingwood and Green Oak. This is from Indivisible Kingwood. 

Details: We meet up at the intersection of Kingwood Drive and Green Oak Drive at 10:00 a.m. Bring your favorite sign or pick one up there. 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.

Friday, 10/3 & 10/10—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, 10/4--4 PM-8 PM, 11419 Hall Rd., Anti-Ai Art Show

​Details: Art is for everyone! Please join 50501-Houston, Communities At Work (CAW), and Cat Ladies for America (CLFA)-Space City Chapter, members of Indivisible Fort Bend County for an exciting, people-centered art show, where we showcase the variety, idiosyncrasy, and exceptionality of *human* artistry from across the Houston area. We are spotlighting art as protest against the ubiquity, slop, and destruction of generative AI and corporate greed undermining the fabric of our culture, society, democracy, and planet.

Monday, 10/6--6 PM-8 PM, Judicial Forum, Lonestar College, CLA 112 Teaching Theater, 20003 Kingwood Dr.

Humble Democrats President John Cotter, Indivisible Kingwood leader Cindi Hendrickson are sponsoring a forum with three Harris County Democratic Judges moderated by Egberto Willies from Politics Done Right. The three judges involved are  Manpreet Monica Singh, Ashley Mayes Guice & Raul Rodriguez. I like this event because it combines a Democratic club with an autonomous group & moderated by strong local independent media source. 

Tuesday, 10/7-Bi-Weekly Indivisible Kingwood meeting, 6 PM-8 PM, Skeeter's Mesquite Grill 4121 W. Lake Houston. This is a strong grassroots group and they discuss upcoming events.
