There are two events on the way where you can ask Houston City Council candidates and other municipal candidates where they stand on issues of expanding and protecting democracy in Houston.

The Houston Pride Forum is Saturday, July 15, 10 AM to 1 at the IBEW building located at 1475 N Loop W.

There will be a meet & greet starting at 10 for Council candidates and then a Mayoral forum.

This event is being put on by the Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus.

On Monday, July 17 the Meyerland Area Democrats will hold a meet and greet & program for Mayoral candidates Gallegos, Garcia and Kaplan. There will also be a forum for at-large and controller candidates
as well.

The event starts at 6:30 PM at Faith Lutheran Gym at 4600 Bellaire.

The Houston Democracy Project will be at both forums.

You should go as well and get to know the candidates.

Ask them questions and hold them accountable.

I'm Neil Aquino.

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy.

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.

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 on Egberto's YouTube channel.
