Tampa Environmentalist Kent Bailey RIP

Rest in Power my friend

We will never forget you!

"Florida lost an environmental champion and I lost a friend yesterday. Kent Bailey was an amazing advocate for this state, and he has done so much for the environmental movement, especially in Tampa. We got to stand together on so many issues and I am sorry I will not get to stand next
to him anymore." Tim Heberlein

"Kent Bailey, I was shocked to discover you had passed away when I returned home from work today. I wish I had touched base with you, even once, to reminisce about the good old days when we campaigned for now Commissioner Kemp. I will make it a priority in my political career to support environmentalism and protect our world. Thank you for a lifetime of service. Rest easy, friend." Asher Edelson

"We've lost Kent Bailey, the Chair of the Sierra Club for many years and one of Hillsborough County's greatest "good trouble" makers. I really can't believe that Kent is gone from a heart attack. He was a dear friend. I never expected to lose him so soon.

He was a cherished and consistent voice on climate change, sea level rise and the environment and a kind and wonderful human being. We miss you Kent. You made this community such a richer place and you saved Cone Ranch, a treasure for generations

to come." Pat Kemp

"The loss of Kent Bailey is devastating to our community. Honestly, I don't think that I can find the words to adequately express the great fondness and the immense amount of respect that I have for Kent, and for the work that he did in within our community. Thank you Kent Bailey. You will be GREATLY missed."

Ella & Jaeden of St. Pete

MaskUP St. Pete is an inspired collection of gender neutral face mask, designed and produced in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The line was born during the Covid-19 quarantine while Ella & Jaeden were quarantined and watching the pandemics chaos unfold. With so little known about Covid-19, you could observe debate everywhere concerning wearing mask and the following panic over the lack of availability of mask.

Looking for a solution this brand has since become Ella & Jaeden's passion project and primary focus.

Ericka Leigh Changing The World

I am raising money for The Sewist Society because this is how I'm trying to change the world. Climate change, racial and gender inequalities are all issues inherent in the sewing and textile worlds.

Our Textile Composting experiment addresses climate change by seeking alternative solutions to landfilling unwanted fabric or shipping it overseas; all while uplifting the skill of sewing, which is most often done by women and women of color.
