Stuff2Do: No Kings October 18 Edition

No Kings October 18 poster




This will be short and sweet, but remember - where’ve you are - No Kings Day is this Saturday all over the country. This is a big moment that seems on track to eclipse the last No Kings Day in turnout, as more and more people are waking up to the regime’s ruthlessness and brutality. 

This ends when enough of us say “No!”

For wherever you may be outside the Greater Houston Area, your first stop should be nokings.org.

For the Greater Houston Area?


Houston has TWO No Kings Events happening Saturday!


Register for either or both here:

Additionally, this Tuesday is the weekly 

Protest at  Sen. John Cornyn’s office:


Tuesdays

11:30am – 1pm CDT

5300 Memorial Dr

Houston TX

About this event


Join other Houstonians in protesting outside John Cornyn’s Houston office (on Memorial Drive) to raise awareness of your objection to recent government actions.


Signs available or make your own.

Do not park in 5300 Memorial garage

The Cornyn Houston Office Protest has been on Houston streets each Tuesday for over 8 years. Fully independent, the Cornyn Protest has been sustained by a dedicated core of Houstonians. The protest sets the example of people showing up for themselves no matter what.


A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.


Hands off Everything!

Rally · Hosted by Indivisible Katy Huddle


Fridays

12 – 1pm CDT

13302 Westheimer Rd

Houston, TX 77077

Map


About this event


Stand outside the SSA office on Westheimer @Eldridge from noon to one each Friday holding signs about the issue of the week. Just pick one - there are so many!


We'll go back to Social Security after 2026 when it becomes a hot button again. Now we need to concentrate on more timely issues and this is a great location for that.

Hope to see you there!


Hands of Everything!

No Kings Day Houston! Photos and videos!

  A Big Beautiful Crowd - Houston No Kings Day All photos: John Barrett  This is my recap: what a wonderful day! I was a little late arriving and couldn’t believe what I saw: the crowd was spilling over to Tranquility Park and it was all I could do to get closer to City Hall. Once I did, I was blown away! Such a great turnout. Official count: 26,000. This is as many people as protested the. Iraq War in 2002 in Boston (right after it launched and before W. declared “Mission. Accomplished!” Who knew the Occupier would make Bush look downright anodyne?) There were quite a few highlights but for me, the best was Texas 9th District Congressional Rep Al Green!!! He’s on fire and ready to keep hammering away at the Occupier and the Regime.  We also had a moment of silence for Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark who were murdered today in a targeted shooting by a shooter who may be impersonating law enforcement. Also injured are Minnesota State Sen...

No Kings Day is coming! Let’s turn out and let’s be safe!

I know many of us are stoked to show up, raise our voices, and fight the good fight against authoritarianism and this tin-pot wannabe dictator and his clown car cabal. However, with additional issues in some states (like this one), there may be increased military presence, more law enforcement on the ground (uniformed and plain clothed) and perhaps, individuals and groups who might try to disrupt peaceful assemblies. There is a wealth of resources online. Here are links to three that I’ve found incredibly comprehensive and a link to a webinar from Women’s March tomorrow that I recommend dialing into. This Linktree is jam-packed with detail. By all means, avail yourself of all the resources on it. https://linktr.ee/protestsafetyprep?akid=22632.4062036.xGxX84&rd=1&t=2 This should take you to the ACLU People Power webinar from Tuesday, June 10. It was hugely informative and will take you less than an hour. That said, save this link and share it accordingly. https://drive.google.co...

What's ahead for protesters in the coming months? Planning ahead for pushback from the State, part 1

Image
Source: unknown   Ahead of larger protests and more people taking to the streets, it might be worthwhile to be aware of what the regime is attempting to do now to breach the right to peaceful assembly and silence voices. We aren’t at the point where the military is turned on crowds, but be aware that is a big part of the authoritarians playbook.  First, there will be draconian legislative measures. As you may assume, many such measures are before different legislatures in conservative states. Concurrently, the federal government is considering several ways to make protesting illegal. Let’s take a look. Cynics and the chronically apathetic contend that protests don’t do anything. History proves this to be a fallacy and you have to ask, if protests don’t do anything, why has there been across the history of this country, legislation to restrict the right to peacefully assemble, to rally, to march, to protest? Only a fool would believe that the measures instituted during GW Bush’...
