Tell Gimenez & the Commission: Miami is a Sanctuary County
2017-02-17 10:00 - 13:00 UTC | Stephen P. Clark Government Center, 111 NW 1st Street, Miami, FL, 33028, United States
Chair Bovo has called a special meeting to discuss Gimenez’s (illegal) order to reverse the commission’s 2013 policy that protects undocumented immigrants from ICE detainers. Gimenez’s action came within hours of Trump’s unconstitutional executive order to punish Sanctuary cities. It’s Trump’s first step to fulfilling his campaign promise of deporting 11 million+ undocumented immigrants.
Tell Gimenez & the Commission: Miami-Dade is a Sanctuary County. Tell them we are a proud immigrant community and we need our local elected officials to stand with us, not Trump.
The meeting starts at 10am, but come early to make sure you get a seat inside.

Demand Bill Nelson’s Response
2017-02-14 12:00 - 13:00 | 2555 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Miami, FL 33134, 2555 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Miami, FL, 33134, United States
Join us, Miami-Dade Green Party, Progress for All, Progressive Alliance, South Florida Water Protectors and 350 South Florida as we come together on Tuesday to demand a response to our signed petition to stop the Sabal Trail Pipeline.
Senator Bill Nelson received our petition on December 29th, with over 98,000 signatures to stop the Sabal Trail pipeline. We have not heard back from Bill Nelson on this urgent petition and we are coming together to demand an answer to our petition. http://www.change.org/SabalPipeline
The Sabal Trail pipeline is a 500 mile long pipeline endangering Florida’s aquifers, the health of millions of people and wildlife. The joint venture between Spectra Energy Corp. NextEra Energy, Inc. and Duke Energy want to bring this pipeline in direct contact with Florida’s pristine water resources. Scientific studies have shown these pipelines always leak and there are hundreds of toxic chemicals flowing inside this pipeline besides natural gas.
Now more than ever our water is under attack and we most fight back for the sake of our health, our environment and our children’s future.
Senator Nelson was a critic of the Keystone XL pipeline and voted against it. We ask that Senator Nelson, as a democratic representative for the people, stand with the people against Florida’s Sabal Trail pipeline and it’s dangerous infrastructure.
Please join the alliance of oganizations coming together to protect our water by sending us a message on https://www.facebook.com/Progressiveall
