On October 16, 2014 during a Tampa City Council meeting, Raíces en Tampa attempted to
have the Council vote in favor of supporting driver's
licenses for the undocumented. Joined by supporters and people who would be affected
by this change, Raíces en Tampa hoped the
City of Tampa would be the first city in Florida to publicly support the
movement for licenses. Tampa City Council refused to vote and at one
point even stated they had never seen the resolution. A Raíces
en Tampa member stated off the podium that each of them had indeed seen it, and
reminded them that out of the seven City Council member, six of them had met
with Raíces en Tampa. Mike Suarez lifted his finger to his
mouth signaling the Raíces en Tampa member
to silence herself and continued denying they had met with
Raíces en
Tampa.
This is why Raíces en
Tampa will hold a press conference on
November 10, 2014 starting at 6:00 PM.
@ La Mexicana - 2002 E Fletcher Ave, Tampa
