We anticipate the organizers collecting petitions to repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance will turn them in to the City Secretary on Thursday, July 3. If the petition meets the requirements in the City Charter, the repeal will go on the ballot in November.
We also anticipate that several of the signatures will be invalid or even fraudulent. If enough are, the petition will fail. We are going to make sure that every one of these invalid and fraudulent signatures is found.

Come to this training to learn how to volunteer to check petitions for false signatures. Unlike other volunteer activities, this will not require a lot of talking to people, and you can do it at home on your own time and at your own pace.
Volunteers will need:
- A computer at home
- Internet at home
- A Google account (if you have a Gmail account, you already have a Google account. If you do not, sign up for a free one here: https://accounts.google.com)
You do not need to bring a laptop to the training, but it may be helpful if you can.
If you have experience in any of the following, please email kristopher.a.banks@gmail.com in advance:
- Legal Field (Lawyer, Law Student, Paralegal)
- Data Collection Management
- Election Petitions
Civil rights shouldn't be on the ballot. Let's make sure HERO never gets there!
