At the Council Agenda business session on June 11, far-right Republican Councilmember Twila Carter said she'd gotten calls of concern about the Saturday, June 14 protests & advised people to stay away. Above you see Ms. Carter at Council telling people to stay away. 

Ms. Carter begins her comments at the 44:50 point of the 6/11 session. 

Last year, Ms. Carter took part in a Mattress Mack political rally to help elect the people now using ICE to disappear people, slash Medicaid and Medicare & trash our democracy. 

Councilmember Carter has things all mixed up. The protestors Downtown were plenty safe. The people Ms. Carter actively supported in 2024 are the actual menaces to society. 

​Councilmember Carter holds At-Large position #3 on Houston City Council. She is accountable to the entire city. 

It is not just her city Ms. Carter fails. Ms. Carter often remarks how she lives in Kingwood. There was a strong No Kings protest in Kingwood on Saturday. They had 660 people. It was totally volunteer organized. The people who took part were fine law-abiding residents of the community. Below you see a picture of the Saturday Kingwood rally. 

Call or e-mail Councilmember Carter! Call her at 832-393-3005. E-mail her at [email protected] 

Tell her she should support peaceful citizens who fight for democracy & strongly oppose people who are attacking democracy. Tell that by campaigning for the Republican ticket in 2024, Ms. Carter  is responsible for cuts to NASA, the National Weather Service, FEMA & to research at the Texas Medical Center that directly harm Houston. 

Tell her whatever works for you. 

Authoritarianism will require a local infrastructure. Local officials will be needed to support Project 2025 and cheer on ICE.  We've not paid enough attention to Houston City Council over the years. This absence of attention is why we elect folks like Councilmember Carter who are out of step with Houston & disrespectful to politically active residents from her own part of town. 

Ms. Carter will be up for re-election in 2027. Let's begin the work right now of voting her out of Council.
