Above are seven folks who were out walking for the Spring Branch ISD races this past weekend. Early voting ends for Spring Branch ISD on April 30 and Election Day is Saturday, May 4. There are two races in Spring Branch. One is unopposed. In the other race the one to vote for is Ben Drews. The folks you see in that picture volunteer all the time in Spring Branch and for other candidates in Harris County. The person who took the picture, Diana Martinez, does a lot for others and has run two strong races for office herself. We can't keep relying on the same people over and over. They are tired. There is so much money floating around for consultants and campaigns that don't leave any meaningful infrastructure of voter turnout or community. Local organizers need money and support. We keep hearing over the years that this is "The most important election in our lifetimes" & how every election matters. But the same people are out there walking. You see them on social media asking for volunteers and help. Business as usual and resources only for a few is not working. We must offer resources and support to the people so consistently doing the everyday work of freedom. 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. Please share word of the Houston Democracy Project and support the effort with your contribution. If you have a question about the Project or a suggestion, please send an e-mail to [email protected]
