Vote tomorrow! Our City needs it!

Hello Tampa friends! I hope that you will vote if you have not already!

I recommend Vibha Shevade for District 3, who is a progressive running to help build Tampa strong! She is gaining traction online with her videos which detail her platform, and commitment to the environment. Ms. V’s videos online have garnered an incredible 30,000 views! She is a part of Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Advisory Council which promotes public safety in Tampa.She is committed to earning your vote and needs your support at the polls!

I recommend Orlando Gudes for District 5! He is dedicated to public transit, has been a youth mentor for years, and has been a smal business owner. Orlando will be the best choice in ensuring that District 5 is looked after, and that disenfranchised constituents are provided a level playing field to find work and vote. Orlando is a personable individual who will be a voice for disadvantaged  communities such as youth, seniors, and those who struggle for public transit options like the free Intowner Bus, which Orlando stood by to support the people. He walks the walk and would be an excellent City Councilor!

I recommend Bill Carlson for District 4! Bill will be an avid proponent for the South Tampa area, and  voted to approve a plan for sensitivity training within the City, as a Charter Review Commissioner. He will ensure that our City moves forward from the mistakes of the Buckhorn years.

I recommend John Godwin for District 2! He is the right person for the job, with a sincere political message to change Tampa for the better and pay attention to criminal justice and other issues. He has a pro disability platform which is a fantastic testament to his candidacy!

I recommend Joe Citro for District 1! He has been a longtime advocate for helping to grow Tampa, and he is someone who will listen to others regardless of agreement or disagreement.

Definitely vote for Guido Maniscalco, who championed the ban on conversion therapy, and Luis Viera, a staunch ally to the disability community, for their reelection bids in (D6)West and (D7)New Tampa, respectively!

Vote Harry Cohen for Mayor of Tampa!

I hope to see you on the barricades!

The People's Forum on TECO in Brandon

Right Wing "Florida Citizens Alliance"

Keith Flaugh (Founding Director of FLCA) points out the fact that Florida narrowly escaped electing a socialist governor in the 2018 elections (a mere 33,000 votes out of the 8 million who voted made the difference in the gubernatorial race).

The 4 million who did not vote for Governor DeSantis voted for socialism, sanctuary cities, abortion on demand, and a 40% tax increase on small businesses.

Tampa Tea Party recommends Ed Turanchik

Nice company he keeps. Chasing votes you will never get is never a good idea. If there is a runoff, he probably won't be in it.

Extinction Rebellion Tampa Bay Noise at Clearwater Beach

Wednesday March 6th

Extinction Rebellion Tampa Bay will gather at The Sandpearl Resort & Spa in Clearwater Beach to protest the Spring Coal Forum, organized by the American Coal Council. The forum is an elite 3-day networking event for senior executives of coal suppliers, utilities, transport and trading companies, designed to examine markets and public policies and strengthen the position of coal as an 
energy source. 

At a time of catastrophic climate breakdown, when science urges us to halt all fossil fuel burning as soon as possible, the coal industry cannot be allowed to continue to push its agenda unchallenged.“The American Coal Council intends to meet quietly here in Tampa Bay, so we thought we’d bring some noise,” said Extinction Rebellion coordinator 
James Lamont. 

“When our region could be uninhabitable within a few decades due to extreme weather it is an insult for them to come and enjoy our beaches and an
afternoon of golf.”

The static noise demonstration will be an attempt to inform locals of the presence of the forum, as well as tell those inside that their event is not welcome. The demo will begin at 6 pm outside the hotel while the forum hosts an evening reception. Participants are encouraged to bring their noisiest instruments, sports appliances, children and kitchen ware. HERE

Extinction Rebellion Tampa Bay is a chapter of a new international movement demanding an emergency mobilization to combat climate change.

STANDOUT for PEACE

STANDOUT FOR PEACE IN SOUTH ASIA

I'm sure many of our readers have learned of the recent escalation of the conflict between India and Pakistan that is causing our sisters and brothers in Kashmir great suffering. This is another of the many unjust wars being waged between greedy and power hungry governments at the deadly expense of the innocent.
 
As part of the GLOBAL STANDOUT FOR PEACE IN SOUTH ASIA, an event has been organized for March 4 on the USF campus. Two young, passionate women who are students at USF have organized this event and they are asking for help from the activist community here in Tampa. This is an ideal opportunity to connect with activists at USF while lending your support to a just and noble cause. Please, if you can, join us Monday afternoon and help amplify the voices of these comrades for peace and justice.
