If Houston City Council Dems Want Help Opposing Whitmire, They Must Step Up

6/8/2024

Houston City Councilmembers officials upset with Mayor Whitmire, need to start organizing rank & file responses & opposition in their constituencies. They must work to expand who is involved & doing the work. This would also help with organizing ahead as we confront authoritarian threat.

I don't know what else to add. We need our Houston City Council Democrats to step up and stop being content with low voter turnout and low civic involvement. If they want Houstonians to help them oppose Mayor Whitmire, then they need to offer effort and energy in return. Elected offcials must return the community resources they extract.

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]
