PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSTON DEMOCRACY PROJECT

The woman murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today is Renee Nicole Good. Above is a Minneapolis Star-Tribune picture of where she was killed.

Ms. Good was a rank & file active citizen. She was one of us. The fight ahead is ours. It is the everyday person who will be most burdened by the challenges ahead.

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

We need our own autonomous sense of collective identity as people ready for the difficult challenges ahead. We must be able to act on our own without waiting for elected officials. The work ahead is ours.

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.
