The John Cornyn Houston Office Protest had 33 people today for Week 435. Above you see our team today. 

It is essential that people see others like themselves willing to stand openly and confidently no matter the aggression of the right.

Protest can never be guaranteed safe—Especially now. We are confronting an authoritarian and white supremacist opponent. The Cornyn Protest stands fully open to all at a busy corner. We will continue to do so.

The National Guard has been sent to Los Angeles over the objection of Mayor Bass & Governor Newsom. Trump has threatened potential protesters at his military parade & declares all sorts of “emergencies" to extend his power.

Our most basic freedoms are at risk.

Some questions the Houston Democracy Project continues to ask--

* With HPD cooperating with ICE, what process is in place to make certain Houstonians will receive due process & not be sent/disappeared to places like the El Salvador torture prison?

* If/When the Trump Administration moves forward with threats to civil liberties such as the suspension of habeas corpus, will HPD resources be used to assist Trump?

* When will Houston/Harris County elected officials--all who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution-- step up? Elected officials not speaking and showing up, shift the effort & risk of protecting democracy to us. These officials must assume a greater share of the burden of the effort ahead.

​Freedom begins right here at home.

​Please find a June 14 protest near you.  We need millions of people on the streets on June 14. And then we’ll take it from there.

​Here is the Houston Democracy Project list of things each of us can do to fight back. Here is a fundraising pitch for the Houston Democracy Project. I'm doing the work and showing up in many different ways.  Please help the effort. ​​

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.
