Stuff2Do: NO KINGS!

Image
The big deal coming up is, of course, March 28, N Kings Day. I really would love to see Americans flood the streets in numbers so large that corporate media can’t play them down.  To find your local action, rally, protest:  https://www.nokings.org/ . Mobilize.us is where you can register for the No Kings Kick-off Call:  https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/916978/ . I truly hope we exceed expectations and the sheer volume of turnout is the largest protest ever seen. Other events/petitions to sign/& so on These are more local to my area, but do check out your local 50501 group or head to mobilize.us for what’s happening in your neck of the woods.

Just show up at 5800 Memorial Drive, Tuesday, from 11:30 a.m. to one. For more info:  https://www.neilaquino.com/houston-democ...

I was pretty exhausted physically - enough that I really had no oomph - but I’m back and ready to retain to the fray. There’s lots of stuff coming up here in Texas and across the country and while this is typically a Texas-centric column, I do try to include as much as possible of events (usually, online) for the whole country. I also want to shift attention to the more positive aspects of engagement. It really is less about being reactive to whatever madness the authoritarian government is doing than simply in turning up for your neighbors.
