Recruit A Vote For Salinas On 12/13-All The Endorsements Rustled Up 25,000 Votes In City Of 2.3 Million

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSTON DEMOCRACY PROJECT

​






​
Tomorrow, Saturday, 12/13, is Election Day for Houston City Council At-Large #4. Voting is 7 AM to 7 PM.

If you’ve not already voted for Alejandra Salinas, please do so. If you know people you think you can convince to go vote for Ms. Salinas, give it a try. Any voter in Houston is eligible to vote in this election.

Ms. Salinas has said she will stand up for democracy, stand up to ICE and show independence from Mayor Whitmire when necessary. Her election would give us the opportunity to hold her to these commitments.

​Her opponent is endorsed by right-wing police unions and by many Republicans.

Only 25,903 voted early in this race in a city of 2.3 million people.

All the elected officials, unions, advocacy groups, industry groups and preachers who have endorsed in this race can’t get people out to vote. There have many pieces of mail sent to voters and a number of candidate forums. Both candidates have been on the campaign trail for months.

Our freedom on the line. We must show up for ourselves. Conventional political actors can’t get people to show up for conventional political activities. They likely won’t be of much use when habeas corpus is suspended.

Take some personal autonomous leadership between today and tomorrow and see if you can rustle up some votes for Ms. Salinas.

And as always—The next action is when you organize it. The First Amendment is your permit. The only credential needed is your presence. Voting will not be enough. The work ahead is ours.

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project Hour. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel.​​​​​​​​​
