​Above you see word of an excellent program I'll be part of Wednesday, March 26th at 6:35 PM. Here is the link to register.

​One thing I'm going to talk about on the broadcast is the need for millions of people to be on the street.

​Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer agrees.

​​
From Bloomberg News reported in the Spokane Spokesman-Review:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer predicted Americans will “rise up” if President Donald Trump defies courts that challenge his policies, saying he doesn’t trust Trump’s pledges to abide by judicial rulings.
Schumer was responding to a question on NBC’s “Meet the Press” about a previous comment that any such effort by Trump would require “extraordinary action” by Democrats...If “the public is so, so angry and takes action – and certainly we Democrats will – it will trigger a mass movement from one end of the country to the other, something that we haven’t seen in a very long time,” Schumer said.


Hold Schumer and all Democratic electeds to those words as our crisis deepens. When we hit the streets in mass, there will be a lot of police. When there is " a mass movement from one end of the country to the other..", we''ll be looking to see what elected officials are standing with us and who is calling for police restraint. 

There will be anti-Musk/Trump protests in Houston on April 5th. These protests will be across the nation. Look for protests near you and spread the word. I think this will easily be the biggest day of protests of Musk/Trump's Presidency. 

There are regular local actions that you can take part in. 

There is a protest each Tuesday at Senator John Cornyn's office. This protest, which has been taking place for over years, is 11:30-1, 5300 Memorial Dr 

There is also a new weekly protest every Friday, noon to one, at the Social Security office at 13302 Westheimer. 

You can also organize your own protest or action. 

​There is a lot of trouble ahead. It's not clear what the best path forward is. But I believe that there is a path forward. Let's keep navigating together no matter the challenges in the upcoming weeks and months. 


Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight Trump/Musk. 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. ​​

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.​

    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.
