How We Maintain Public Space Reflects How We Care For One Another

7/30/2024

This picture is called—“Uncovered bus stop in hot Houston with no bench, damaged route marker sign & weeks old hurricane debris.”

It is important that our public environments be decent and well-maintained. Beyond the debris that will be picked up whenever, how can there be no covering and no seat at the bus stop?

When we are told public space does not matter, we are being told our collective aspiration to live decently with one another is not important.

Not a good stage or platform for healthy democracy.

I'm Neil Aquino

I’m a rank & file Democrat, activist and Houstonian who wants to live in a free society. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as paid staff for multiple Democratic 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 seven years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy ahead.

I’m a member of the Southwest Democrats, Tejano Democrats, Bayou Blue Democrats and the Houston LGBTQIA Caucus. I have a political science degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati and ran a Cincinnati City Council office.

I read a lot of books and follow baseball closely.
