The rainbow crosswalk was APPROVED by FDOT years ago to honor the 49 + enhance pedestrian safety for those who come to pay their respects.
You looked survivors in the eye + promised they would never be forgotten-- then betrayed them for political ambition.
They won't be erased.

Did you know Florida’s uninsured rate is set to spike more than anywhere in the nation?
Did you know Medicaid expansion would make a huge difference— shrinking the rate increase by at least half and bringing $10B in our tax dollars home?

The new immigration detention center in the Everglades is cruel and barbaric.
Tell Congress: Take action and shut down Alligator Alcatraz.

#EmmettTill would/should be celebrating his 84th birthday today. I imagine him as an elder, enjoying family and sharing wisdom imparted to him by his mother, #MamieTillMobley. Racism, as driven by white supremacist ideology and in its diabolical attempts to sustain systemic and cultural power, is vicious and devastating.

NEW: Alligator Alcatraz isn’t meant for minors. A 15 year old ended up there anyway.
State and federal officials initially deflected questions about the boy being held at the facility, but eventually acknowledged he had been there.
