Today Just The Right Day To Be Visible-People Need To See Others In The Fight

9/11/2025

I went out with this No Police State sign for 75 minutes today. This was the space I could claim today. The positive reactions & thank you's were like 50-2. People need to see others willing to show up no matter the political climate. They need to know others will be with them in the difficult days ahead. Today was just the right day to be assertive. The right intends to take our rights & purge us. Voting will not be enough. There is no savior running for some office. It is going to have to be us.

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.

Events have proven this assertion correct.
