Last Tuesday, 23 powerful voices spoke at Houston City Council—and the impact was undeniable. Council members are responding. We’ve heard Houston First is scrambling to hold a “flurry of meetings” this week. That kind of urgency? It’s because of us.

We’re posting each 1-minute speech on Instagram to show the depth, diversity, and determination of our movement. If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re worth watching—and sharing. Follow us here!

What’s next?

This Wednesday (9/24) is a consolidated Council session, with public comment starting at 9:30 AM. We don’t need a full crowd this time, but a few strong voices will send a clear message: we’re not backing down.

Sign up with the City by 3 PM Tuesday to speak. Here's how.

Want to coordinate your speech with others? Let us know—last week’s coordinated effort was incredibly powerful.

There’s no Council meeting the week after this, which means the vote could come on Wednesday, 10/8. We need to keep showing up, keep speaking out, and make it clear:

We’re here. We care. And we’re not going away.
