This past Thursday I was the featured speaker at the May meeting of the Spring Democratic Club in Spring, Texas here in Harris County. I appreciate the club for the invite. There were about 30 folks in attendance. I talked about and took questions about some of the chief themes of the Houston Democracy Project. (Above you see me talking to the club.) I discussed the in-our-face reality of a Republican Party promising violence if they lose and authoritarianism if they win & mass migrant round-ups as well. Those round-ups would surely go on in Houston/Harris County. This conversation included discussion of the policing over the years at the John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. We must be willing to show up for ourselves & for others no matter the challenges ahead. I also talked about the need of rank & file Democrats to insist that well-financed candidates and all elected Democrats work hard to elect the full Democratic slate in '24. I pointed out that I asked Tax Assessor candidate Annette Ramirez, to commit to taking part in a blockwalk or holding a fundraiser for the HCAD candidates should she win her May 28 race. She said she would & we will follow up with Ms. Ramirez after Tuesday's vote. We all have a voice and we should use that voice. Elected officials are here for us. I've addressed Democratic clubs in Baytown, Humble & Spring about the Houston Democracy Project. I was also a main speaker at the recent quarterly Harris County Democratic Party Clubs & Orgs meeting at the Party HQ. I'd be happy to talk to your club or organization. It does not have to be a Democratic club. We are all fighting for our freedom. Thanks for all the support of the Houston Democracy Project. Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what. The Houston Democracy Project works daily to inspire, organize and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions in Houston and Harris County. Please share word of the Houston Democracy Project and support the effort with your contribution. If you have a question about the Project or a suggestion, please send an e-mail to [email protected]
