Local Treasure Marisol Marquez Of Raíces en Tampa

Growing up, before walking into class, I'd scrub my hands with soap and water to try to take off the green-tint, caused by cutting asparagus. Every morning, from February to July starting at 2 am - 6am I'd work the fields before school started. If I didn't scrub my hands raw, my school papers would turn green. here

Raíces en Tampa To Spotlight Tampa City Council Lying

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
