Dear Democrats, friends and neighbors,
We’re asking everyone who believes in fair representation to join us this Saturday at 10:00 AM for the Day of Protest, “Hands Off Our Districts.” In solidarity with community leaders, elected officials, and precinct chairs across Harris County, we’ll stand together against the partisan gerrymander called by Governor Abbott at President Trump’s request—just prior to the 2026 mid‐term elections.
What: Day of Protest – “Hands Off Our Districts”
When: Saturday, July 19, 2025 • 10:00 AM–11:30 AM
Why: This mid-decade redistricting threatens to dilute the votes of our Black, Brown, working-class, and urban communities in CD-9, CD-18, CD-29—and ultimately across the entire state. We will not be silenced.Rally Locations (Choose One)

If the Republicans are hell-bent on passing a new Congressional map in the special session, there’s not much that can be done to stop them. They have sufficient majorities to do it. That doesn’t mean we just have to accept it. Here’s your opportunity to register your dissent. Please be there if you can.
I hear the 43rd & Ella is gonna be awesome.
