Laila Abdelaziz Endorses Ed Narain

Ed Narain (In my opinion, Ed is one of the most impressive state legislators we have. Although he has served a short time in the State House, electing Ed to the State Senate would do a lot to strengthen the State Democratic Party’s leadership) here

Laila's Elevator Ride In Tallahassee

I was in an elevator with several members of the Florida House. We had just gotten out of a committee hearing that passed the ludicrously unconstitutional anti-refugee bill (whose premise, may I add, is entirely bigoted and Islamophobic) and a Representative that should damn well know better walked into the elevator and jokingly hesitated while looking at me, "Oh, is it safe to ride the elevator with you." Everyone laughed. Every single one of them laughed (Democrat, Republican, white, black, old, young) as I was belittled with a wildly inappropriate remark that because I'm a Muslim this Representative should be afraid to ride in an elevator with me. It's not funny. It hurts. 

Florida, nothing about our legislature reflects our amazing communities, my warm and loving neighbors and friends, and our Florida that I and many others fight for every single day. It's far past time that we take it seriously that the large majority of the 120 members of the House entrusted with the responsibility to govern and lead, are not fit to lead and are certainly not fit to govern. 

Please help me get all of this

disconnected, bigoted, small minded, pos legislators out of office.

Oh, and on being an "ally": an ally, in moments such as today says, "Representative, that is not funny, it is offensive, please apologize." That's what it means to be a leader. That's what you should do when someone is belittled in your presence. Laila Abdelaziz

Beautiful Words From Laila Abdelaziz

On this day, (11.20) 24 years ago, I was born in an occupied land to a very brave mama and a very strong baba. My entrance to this world didn't dignify a birth certificate, as I was born on a land under military rule and for that military power to acknowledge another human prisoner would be silly and self-defeating. So there I was, a baby with no papers in a land ruled by guns and water shortages, travel restrictions and curfews, broken dreams and hopeless promises. Generations of broken dreams and hopeless promises. more
