I’m going to make an effort to not mention any elected official or candidate on social media or here on the Houston Democracy Project Blog in the week ahead. We are the main act. (Above--A picture of Houston today. There is a photography section on this website.) This weekend I have two speaking engagements and I’m figuring out what to say. On Saturday, I’m a speaker in Angleton, Brazoria County at an event run by the Southern Brazoria County Democrats Club, & on Sunday I’m the guest at the monthly Democrats of La Porte meeting. This is part of my work on the Democracy Project. I’m going to discuss us as rank and file people being ready for the challenge ahead. I’m going to talk about our need to find one another across all barriers. The way to be correct about what the right intends is to envision the worst things: * They know A.I. is coming for people’s jobs and view people who won’t be able to find work as excess population. * They believe in climate change-No matter what they tell you- and feel people in a disaster zone should not choose to live in such a place. It is their fault. * They only want white people-and just certain white people at that-in the United States. * They don’t care if you live or die. * ICE is a secret police with a larger goal of taking our rights. We need to find everyone inside the 610 Loop, the entire City of Houston, all of Harris County and all neighboring counties who is ready for the fight, or looking for ways to join the fight. We can't leave out anybody. People need to know the ally across the street, across town and across the region. Most of all we need to know our own power. We must develop our own skills and abilities. Let’s create the climate and structures where we can accomplish. More to come.... 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 Egberto's YouTube channel. Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways. Please help the effort.
