The Progressive Revolution Is Being Led by a Black Woman

Every day since Sen. Bernie Sanders tapped her to lead his political organization, Nina Turner has been on a mission to push the Democratic establishment to realize the inevitable: The political revolution is here, whether they want to accept it or not. The future of the party—the working poor, minorities, the white working-class—can no longer depend on safe, centrist leadership. It needs revolutionaries. here

Florida Berners Please Help

Meet  The Mayor
Andrew Gillum is the son of a bus driver and construction worker, and he’s the only non-millionaire running against three millionaires and a billionaire. 
-----
 "Florida Democrats want to be inspired
not bought by millionaires and billionaires."
Sound familiar? Get inspired Florida Berners.
-----
Ideas and records will win this primary!
-----
The mayor is the only progressive in this race to take Florida back for working people, and his message is resonating with Florida Democrats. Polling shows that once voters learn about his vision and track record, he jumps out to 
a double-digital lead.

Florida Democratic voters want to hear a progressive message

Words from The Mayor
-----
Democrats “need to make sure they’re creating an agenda [voters] can see themselves in,” the Tallahassee mayor said at a town hall in Orlando on Thursday night. “Yes, deal with Trump, but by the same token, let’s not make him the centerpiece of our electoral success.”
-----
“It’s my belief that the way we’re going to win this race — not just the primary, but the general — is by giving more of our voters a reason to turn out, I don’t think we’ve given the best stimulus to the voters who are required to turn out for Democrats to win. Largely those voters are black, brown, younger and poorer — and let me tell you, I trust my chances turning out those constituencies better than any candidate in this race.” 
Andrew Gillum
-----
“Over the course of the campaign, everybody’s redefining themselves, everybody’s progressive all of a sudden.
 I was getting lonely out there."

Words From The Mayor

I didn’t decide to run for Governor because I like seeing my name on signs or because I grew up wanting to be a politician.
-----
I've always believed that people should run hard on the issues that matter to our communities. I got into public service to make a difference in people's lives. And I decided to run for Governor because I knew we could rebuild Florida into a state that works for all of us, and it was going to take the right leader to help do it.
-----
I believe in fighting for what’s right, and I truly believe I am the right person to help fix the mess Rick Scott is leaving behind -- but I need your help. here

Chris Cano for Florida State Representative District - 62

Today the people of West Tampa and the residents of District 62 gained a new candidate for their State House seat in Tallahassee. A familiar face and a name many may know well, Christopher Cano, filed for the Democratic nomination for State Representative. The only child of Sharon and the late Carlos Cano III has spent the last several years organizing in the community around many different issues from immigration reform to medical marijuana to teachers unions. Chris had this to say about his run to represent his hometown in Tallahassee:

“Public service is my calling. Whether it is through divine influence or just the innate will to help others, I cannot turn from it. It is why after high school I joined the Air Force. And, since then, I have spent the vast majority of my adult life in service to our people. Helping others achieve the American Dream has always been a focus of my work in public service. Yet, in these times, we see the American Dream under attack by divisive forces in both Tallahassee and Washington DC. I despise war for the lives lost, yet, I will not turn from a fight when our people are attacked. The powers that be see fit to place puppets in Tallahassee that attack our teachers, our nurses, our union brothers and sisters. These powers push legislation that attack our immigrant families, our communities of color, and our LGBTQ loved ones. With our civil rights and economic livelihoods under attack, now is the time to unite. Together we can get our great state of Florida and America back on track. Together let’s achieve the Dream.”

Friends, neighbors, and supporters are welcome to join Cano for a campaign kickoff at Wellswood Park, tomorrow, Saturday June 2nd from 2pm to 5pm located at 4918 N Mendenhall Dr in Tampa, FL.
