![]() There was a protest today outside the Tesla dealership located at 9633 Westheimer. Above you see a picture of the protest. I'm glad to report that I'm in the picture. The protest was organized by the Indivisible Katy Huddle. Sometimes I hear people ask when the next protest will happen. The answer is that the next protest will happen when you organize it! Today's protest was organized by someone just like you. She used a social media platform. Told friends. Got other people to share word. Made a sign. Then she showed up and so did a number of like-minded Houstonians. The First Amendment is your permit to protest. Any number of people you get at a protest is the right attendance. Anybody passing by and seeing what you are doing is a win. Telling others that you are acting makes a difference. It's essential people see others like themselves willing to act no matter the aggression of the right. If you don't want to protest out on the street for whatever reason, then organize something else. Organize calls to elected officials for whatever cause or a postcard writing party or a group of people signing up to speak a city council meeting or at the school board. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you'd like some positive feedback and encouragement for something you'd like to organize. We all have power. There is no certain clear path forward. Do your best. But please do something. 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.
