Some notes from the Houston Democracy Project--

* The Houston Democracy Project is appreciative of the support of former Houston City Councilwoman Melissa Noriega. See Tweet above. Melissa has always been a thoughtful actor in public life and her kind words are helpful.

* The Houston Democracy Project made a pitch for this effort last night at the monthly Zoom meeting of the Katy Democrats. I'm working hard to promote this project and change the culture of Houston municipal politics.

* The next meeting of the sham HISD Board of Managers is Thursday, 6/15, at 5:30 PM at the Hattie Mae White Building. Here are details. Consider attending and signing up to speak. The removal of our elected School Board by an authoritarian state government in what just 60 years ago a Jim Crow city is nothing more than an act of violence. We must fight back.

* At today's John Cornyn Houston Office Protest--Which I help organize--a man threw a softball and then some eggs at us from a fifth floor balcony. He was no Cy Young however as he missed us with every pitch.

    I'm Neil Aquino.

    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.​

    I am the 2024 Barbara Cigainero Volunteer of the Year Award recipient the Houston LGBTQIA+ Political 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.
