Florida GOP Total Control

Republicans in the Legislature are advancing bills this year that would make it harder for citizens to push ballot measures or for liberal groups to challenge GOP-inspired laws 
in court. HERE

“It’s called consolidation of power. 
I think that’s what the emperor 
in Star Wars called it.”

Who The Hell Is Armani Salado?

He is a millennial from Central Florida who wants to take on Stephanie Murphy in 2020. 

He says it's pretty simple, he's running because it's time to get representatives into Washington, not activists. 

"We have people in there coming in with their own personal agendas, their own personal vendettas against our president and against our nation. I feel like the people of America need someone there who is going to want to represent their will and not 
their personal agenda. HERE

Mr. Salado, their agendas 
IS the peoples agenda!

Extinction Rebellion Tampa Bay Presents Death and Noise for Week of Action

A call for international rebellion has been issued for between April 15th 
and April 21st

Local climate action chapter Extinction Rebellion Tampa Bay has announced a calendar of actions and protests for the week beginning Monday, April 15th. The plans are part of a week of “International Rebellion” called for by Extinction Rebellion (XR), which brought its message of non-violent mass action and climate emergency to the UK in October and has since spread quickly across the globe to include tens of thousands of active participants. The primary action will be held at 10am on Friday, April 19th at Tampa City Hall, in solidarity with
 climate strike students. 

It will feature a die-in protest and funeral procession to symbolize the deadly seriousness of the climate crisis, and comes ahead of Tampa’s mayoral runoff election on April 23rd. On March 15th over 1.6 million students went on strike from school around the world to demand significant action against greenhouse gas emissions. Other events planned during the week include rallies at the Tampa office of Chair of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Kathy Castor and at St. Petersburg City Hall, a noise demonstration at TECO headquarters in Tampa against their plans to build a fracked gas unit, and a social “Beach Uprising” event at the weekend. The full list of current details can be found at the event page.The broad intention behind the week of action is to build links between XR and other movements, and to further support for XR’s long term strategy of coordinated and sustained economic disruption to prevent climate breakdown. 

Actions are being planned in dozens of U.S. cities and around the world, including an indefinite occupation of central London and a climate action camp in Los Angeles. Previous events held locally since XR Tampa Bay was formed in November include a St. Petersburg march and mass artwork protest during a national day of action in January, and a noise demonstration against the Spring Coal Forum in Clearwater Beach in March. In the run up to the week of action the group will be holding an introductory talk at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Clearwater on April 7th, and tabling at the St. Pete Earth Day Festival on April 13.
