What we’re about
We Houstonians believe that US Senator Bernie Sanders' political history and his courageous stance on national and international issues would make him the best candidate for president of the United States. Bernie Sanders has always fought for the democratic rights of the 99%. He has taken on the large monopolies, the military industrial complex, and the extreme right in a consistent struggle for working families. We believe that Bernie Sanders' candidacy for president of the United States would benefit African-Americans, immigrant families, the trade union movement, environmental sustainability, women's and LGBT rights, and education. Bernie Sanders stands with all Americans and represents everyone who believes in democracy, peace, and justice. His campaign for presidency will lead towards a large alliance of the most diverse and progressive forces in this country. We need a real progressive candidate who is not all talk but has a history of following through with action. Bernie Sanders has shown over the years that he can win elections and is a viable candidate. We believe that Senator Bernie Sanders should run in the Democratic primary, not as an independent, so that he will have the best chance of winning the presidential nomination. Bernie Sanders' politics and philosophy best reflect the goals of the founding fathers of the American Revolution, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr. He is a candidate that can truly galvanize the vast majority of Americans in taking back our country from big corporations and restoring democracy.

Plenty of free parking, free popcorn and drinks ! Meet your fellow activists! In the early 1930s, Dr. Scholz is a chemist working for IG Farben. While he develops new types of rocket fuel and a gas which he believes to be a pesticide, his corporate superiors support Adolf Hitler in his quest to dominate Germany, and subsequently, the whole of Europe. Director General Mauch and his fellow managers, who jokingly call themselves 'the council of the gods', are cleverly using the Second World War to earn a fortune, by supplying the Third Reich and - through their cartel with Standard Oil - the Western Allies. Scholz, fearing to lose his position, turns a blind eye even as he realizes what the gas he developed is used for. Throughout the war, American bombers do not destroy IG Farben plants, as they are pressured by the company's associates in the United States to leave its infrastructure intact. After the war ends, the Americans acquit most of the directors from charges of crimes against humanity and secretly use their experience to produce chemical weapons for potential deployment against the Soviet Union. After an explosion in a chemical factory kills hundreds, Scholz - who is now a communist - cannot remain silent. He publicizes the truth about IG Farben's wartime activity, warning that they are planning yet another war to make more money. An immense demonstration takes place outside the firm's headquarters. The American general supervising the managers proposes to disperse them with tanks, but Mauch refuses, fearing the crowd's reaction. The demonstration turns into a May Day rally.
