Houston Tired Of HISD Takeover-May 18 City Hall Rally

5/14/2024

Houstonians are tired of the anti-democratic State of Texas takeover of Houston public schools.

Successful principals are being terminated, custodians are being fired and Superintendent F. Mike Miles is involved in scandal.

The focus of the Houston Democracy Project is the loss of our elected School Board. What we have now is Greg Abbott's rubber stamp Board of Managers. What we should have is our elected School Board.

Community Voices for Public Education has done a good job in the fight against the takeover.

Above is notice for I think will be a well-attended protest against the takeover this Saturday. I''ll be there and I hope you will as well. The event is being organized by the families Briargrove Elementary.

Mayor Whitmire should be using the connections with the state he often talks about to fight the takeover and its bad impact.

Democracy is on the line in so many ways in Houston and Harris County. In addition to voting, we must be willing to show up as needed.

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]

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy.

I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel.
