Three Thoughts/Observations

Three observations/thoughts today: 

1. A goal of the Houston Democracy Project is to act effectively within traditional politics, help bridge the gap or make use of the spaces between traditional politics and protest, and make clear the relevance of protest and the street. We need every tool we have for the challenges ahead. 

2. I watched a lecture on C-SPAN by Professor Jasmin Howard of North Carolina Central University about civil rights-era activism from Historically Black Colleges in North Carolina. It is well worth watching.  

Near the end of the lecture Professor Howard said "Activism is choices made by ordinary people." I really like that. We all can make the choice to do what we can do.

3. Democrats and people who want to live in a free society are trying to win an election. The political right is trying to take power anyway they can. There is a big difference. We have to be ready for whatever is on the way    

Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what.

The Houston Democracy Project works daily to inspire, organize and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions in Houston and Harris County.
