Ahead of the December 14th vote where the FCC is expected the repeal regulations known as "net neutrality," dozens of protesters gathered at the main office headquarters of AT&T in downtown Dallas.

On November 13, 2017, various social justice organizations, including CAIR-TX DFW chapter, Faith Forward Dallas, and In Solidarity, held a press conference and vigil to educate the public about the upcoming immigration ban revision, otherwise known as the Trump administration's 'Muslim Ban 3.0'.

On October 28, hundreds of activists gathered in downtown Dallas in support of legalizing marijuana during the annual Dallas Marijuana March free speech event.

On October 22, international day against police brutality, tens of people gathered at a makeshift memorial in honor of men and women killed by police. Members of social activist group In Solidarity offered attendees chalk to write down names of the deceased.

In light of the recent deadly protest in Charlotesville, GA, thousands gathered at Dallas City Hall to protest white supremacy. An estimated 2,300 people attended, including many activist groups such as In Solidarity and Black Lives Matter.

On June 7, 2017, at least a hundred activists made their way to Dallas City Hall to protest the vote of the upcoming Senate Bill 4, otherwise known as the "sanctuary cities" bill. This bill would grant local police departments the authority to question a person's immigration status upon detainment.

On April 20, 2017, U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders returned to north Texas, this time to rally and unite Democrats through the DNC's 'Come Together and Fight Back' campaign.

On a Sunday afternoon, Dallas residents across the metroplex gathered on April 17, 2016 to hold a potluck party, a meal where each attendant is encouraged to contribute their own food dishes. Despite the mild and persistent rain, approximately 25 people were in attendance, with many attendees bringing boxes of food and cleanup accessories.

It is a new year, and many are already aggressively tackling their resolutions, as am I. On the very first day on January, I spent the entire morning on assignment photographing for a friend who leads organisations Open Carry Texas (Dallas Chapter) and Texas Universal Carry, both civil liberties groups that push for gun rights here in Texas. I had the pleasure of being able to witness history as I was on the very stage where Texans hold rallies for a variety of issues ranging from abortion (another rally is coming soon), to anti-Muslim protests (remember the viral video where a deranged lady stole the microphone from a speaker during the Muslim capitol day?) and many other issues. January 1st was no different, as the new open carry law took effect, allowing all licensed handgun owners (those with either a Concealed Handgun License or a License to Carry permits) to openly display their modern handguns in most places. There are regulations to this new law, of course, stating that the handgun must be holstered on a belt (doesn't seem to define where the gun has to be however). Business owners have the choice to allow open carry on their property, only through use of proper signage, which can be legally purchased online. 

It was only a matter of time before Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made her way back to Dallas, Texas. It's been a while since she has visited Mountain View College, with one of her last major visit being back in 2008, during her first run for a Presidential office.

An estimated 1,500 attendees arrived, filling the room on a first-come, first-serve basis. The press was hot, and there were Hillary supporters everywhere you looked. Well, of course. It is Dallas.
