Three protest notes: 

​1. Mayor Whitmire yesterday implied yesterday in his press conference about HPD/ICE, that the Houston No Kings folks had asked HPD for protection for the 3/28 protest. That's not the case. They made a statement to that effect that you see below.

2. Below is a list of 3/28 No Kings protests in the Houston-region. The graphic leaves off the newly-listed Galveston protest. Here is the link to find a No Kings protest near you. If you don't see one near you, organize it yourself.

3. Below is a Montrose Bridge protest that tomorrow, 3/13, will be in its 10th week.

Here is the link for a street medic/emergency training in The Woodlands on Sunday, 3/15.

I'll say it every time because some people need to hear it to one able to move forward--Voting is essential & do the electoral work you need to do. 

But to leave ourselves only to the dysfunction, grift and limitations of electoral politics & the police elected officials send no matter how peacefully we assemble for our most basic freedoms, is a misguided path.
​
The next action is when you organize it. The First Amendment is your permit. The only credential needed is your presence. You don't need to feel self-confident to proceed. Voting will not be enough.
