Protest Against Corley ICE Detention Camp-Activist Group & Democratic Club Team Up

Please CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSTON DEMOCRACY PROJECT

​Above you see word of a protest in Conroe on Saturday, 2/28. I plan on being there. The event has some momentum and will have a good attendance. 

The organizing groups are We Rise Up in Montgomery County and the Cypress-Tomball Democrats. Here is the Mobilize link to learn more details and say that you'll attend. 

Here is how the event is described:

​Cypress-Tomball Democrats of Harris County are joining with We Rise Up to protest the inhumane treatment of people in the high-capacity Joe Corley ICE Detention Center in Conroe, TX. 

Detainees are held without full rights (not enough access to attorneys, phone calls out, etc.) and they are in a WINDOWLESS facility with ZERO access to the outdoors 24/7. In early January, a man died while in custody at this facility.

More of these facilities are rising up across our county and we need to protest the ones here and the new ones planned. 

Join us as we share our message from the pedestrian-friendly sidewalks on the North Loop 336 bridge at I-45.

Montgomery County has had an active and hopeful protest scene in the 2nd Trump term. 

CY-Tom Democrats are a large productive club in Harris County that does a lot of electoral work. They also see the need for protest. I recently wrote about a Democratic club president in Harris County who called me to discuss starting a regular protest in addition to the electoral work they are doing. 

We are building our own infrastructure of opposition, communication, self-protection and action outside conventional political channels. The March 28 No Kings protests across the Houston-region, Texas and the nation will be another round of organizing for us. Here is the link to find a No Kings protest near you. More being added all the time. You can organize one yourself. 

The next action is when you organize it. The First Amendment is your permit. The only credential needed is your presence.

Voting is not going to be enough. Harris County Democratic clubs are clearly sending this message--Voting is essential, but it is not going to be enough.
