​There is a bridge banner protest in Conroe on Sunday, 1/18. It is organized by We Rise Up. You see the graphic above with the details. 

There have been a number of actions in Conroe and Montgomery County over the past year. The've been so prolific in standing up for freedom, that this past October the City of Conroe tried to limit protest rights in the city. They were not successful in the attempt.

There was an article on 1/13 in The Guardian about bridge banner drops. This work is being done by people just like 

From the article: 

Groups like the Visibility Brigade and 50501, one of the lead organizations of the No Kings protests, are encouraging action beyond the national level to include smaller, repeated actions denouncing Donald Trump’s policies. Since March 2025, more than 250 Visibility Brigades have formed all over the country, across urban, rural, blue and red cities.

Glazer said just because the civil actions are small, it doesn’t mean they’re not effective. “These local protests are easy to sustain on a weekly basis.” Glazer said. “There are thousands of cars driving by that see our messages on overpasses in hundreds of cities across the country.”

Here is the link to the Visibility Brigade. There is Houston chapter and many across the country. You can start one yourself if you don't see one where you live. 

Below you see word of a protest at Houston City Hall at 1:30 PM on Tuesday 1/20. I will be a speaker at the protest. January 20 is the first anniversary of Trump's second inauguration. 

The next action or protest is when you organize it, the First Amendment is your permit, the only credential needed is your presence.

    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.
