Houstonians- UNITE! Join Indivisible Houston, PSR Houston, FIEL and other allied groups Saturday, June 30th at 10 AM for a rally at City Hall and march to Ted Cruz’s office to show solidarity with families and opposition to burdensome, ignorant, divisive immigration law.
The horrors of the deportation machine and the Administration’s decision to kidnap children and use them as pawns in exchange for a fantasy real estate construction project along the southern border rip apart families and destroy communities.
Join us to demand that our publicly elected employees take the following actions:
1) End the new DHS policy of family separation in order to REUNITE FAMILIES;
2) Vote against the Goodlatte Immigration plan;
3) Defund ICE (an agency established after 9/11 with expanded powers beyond standard
customs checks and enforcement); and
4) End private prison donations and require reps return all private prison donations- both individual and PAC.

In 2018, we worked together to bring an unprecedented wave of voters and candidates to the midterm elections. In 2019 we're doubling down on the call for justice in our world with the 2019 Houston Women March For Justice Saturday, January 19, 2019.
What does justice look like for you? We're inviting organizations working for justice regarding violence, ethnicity, gender, the criminal justice system, age, health, education, socio-economic and wage gap, housing, immigration, environmental, representational democracy (anti-gerrymandering!), and more. During the 2019 Houston Women March For Justice, you'll have the opportunity to join thousands of people to take actions for justice, and to learn how help people and organizations in our region.

McKinney Street and Smith Street - Downtown Houston (adjacent to City Hall)
Celebrating! its 25th Anniversary, the MLK Grande Parade is the third largest Parade in the U.S. behind The Rose Parade and The Macy’s Day Parade. During The Annual MLK Grande Parade, 300,000 Spectators are expected and has a Viewing Audience of more than 4,000,000. The Annual MLK Grande Parade parade consists of 15 Parade floats & 30 Marching bands.
Join us Saturday, May 4th to march from Renwick and Bellaire to Burnett Bayland Park for a rally in celebration of International Workers Day.
Together, we will build solidarity across our differences to honor the legacy of all working people in continuing to fight for immigrant, racial, economic, and environmental justice in a system that puts profit over people.
We live in a city where asylum seekers are being kept in detention centers, one of which lies just outside Downtown and is housing teenagers indefinitely. These centers are run by the Southwest Key Programs, whose leaders are profiting off of the detainment of children and have yet to share adequate information about the conditions in these centers. We, as Houstonians, are obligated to come together to stand with the migrants in our city and call out maltreatment of migrants when it occurs.
The rally will be held on Saturday September 14, tentatively from 5:30-8:30pm at the Casa Sunzal detention center (419 Emancipation Ave). We will meet at Settegast Park (3000 Garrow St) at 5:30pm and walk for about 5-10 minutes to the detention center.

Donald Trump es el presidente más racista, sexista, antiobrero y autoritario en medio siglo. Ha implementado una prohibición de viajar a los musulmanes, ha comenzado a construir un muro para mantener a los migrantes mexicanos y centroamericanos fuera de nuestro país y ha difamado a líderes políticos, atletas y otras personas de ascendencia africana.
