This is an URGENT call to talk about how we win. We are so close and there is only way we make it happen when we’re being outspent 4:1 and we’re facing billionaire dollars, But we’ve got a winning strategy but it only works if we enact it right now and it’s going to take very single one of us.

The US Senate race here in Florida allows us to immediately pick up another seat in the US Senate, which is another vote against the harmful legislative direction of this current administration. Everyone in Florida needs to lock in and support Angie Nixon.

Got questions about Amendment 3? Get real answers, live. Join us for an Amendment 3 teletownhall on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 PM with Congressman Maxwell Frost, State Rep. Anna Eskamani, State Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, and former congressional candidate and firefighter Bernard Taylor.

Martin County losing its FREE public transit system is devastating for residents who depend on it to get to work, medical appointments, and grocery stores. With the Iran conflict driving up fuel costs, now is the worst time to lose this lifeline. We need solutions, not cuts!

Fort Pierce seniors deserve answers. The senior center is more than a building, it provides meals, activities, friendship and connection. Before it closes, leaders must explore every option to keep these vital services in Fort Pierce. Our seniors showed up for us. Now we must show up for them.

Since Trump's Iran war began, households here on the Treasure coast have shelled out an average of $594 more on fuel, per household. Our current Congressman Brian Mast, by voting to keep this conflict going, is making life more expensive for us here in Florida Congressional District 21.

St. Lucie County residents deserve answers about the unauthorized Flock cameras found on our roads. Who installed them? Who accessed the data? What safeguards were in place? Public safety matters. Privacy matters. Transparency matters. Asking these questions is accountability.

Today, new Medicaid eligibility restrictions take effect in Florida, putting coverage at risk for some residents. When people lose access to routine care, the impact can reach hospitals, nursing homes, ERs and EMS. Medicaid cuts don’t just affect patients, they affect our entire healthcare system.

Byron Donalds stood in FAMU's auditorium and told students that: 1. Many of their degrees don't matter and just take up a trade. 2. Guns are ok on campus 3. FAMU will continue to be underfunded 4. Doubled down on his DEI position 5. Stated ICE can enter campus and grab students. He is not like us

Attention, Treasure Coast, Here is an opportunity to meet your next United States senator for the state of Florida, Angie Nixon. Make sure we pack this building out in represent our home to the best of our ability.

Out in the community, meeting people where they are. Had an amazing time at the South Florida Soul Rodeo here in Fort Pierce, FL Glad to be able to help introduce the community to their next representative for Florida House District 84, Jennifer Massey.

Our Future Is on the Ballot. Our Voices Matter. As a community organizer and leader, I believe that one of the greatest responsibilities we have is to remain engaged in the decisions that shape our communities and our future.

I encourage everyone to become informed, get involved, have conversations with their neighbors, and exercise their right to vote. Don’t allow anyone else to decide your future without making your own voice heard.

Our communities deserve leadership that listens, understands our challenges, and takes seriously the responsibility of public service. Your vote is your voice. Your participation is your power. And our future is our collective responsibility.

The people we elect will make decisions that directly affect our everyday lives. That’s why it’s important to look beyond political rhetoric, examine candidates’ records, ask difficult questions, and understand where they stand on the issues that matter most to us.

Representation should come with accountability. Our elected officials work for the people, and we have every right to expect transparency, accessibility, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving the communities they represent.

This upcoming election is about more than political parties, campaign slogans, or the names on a ballot. It’s about our families, our neighborhoods, our children’s education, access to affordable healthcare, economic opportunity, public safety, and the quality of life we all deserve.

To all my supporters, I know the outcome of the Primary was not what we wanted, however for the good of Florida, I asked that you support the Democratic nominee for Florida District 21, James Martin.

Today, Equal Ground will bring together elected officials, faith leaders, and community members for a press conference to sound the alarm on the impacts of Amendment 3 on Floridians and join the Save Our Services, No on 3 coalition. I’m thankful for the opportunity to speak at this event today.

BREAKING: 760,000 Americans affected by canceled ACA policies. As a paramedic, I know what losing coverage can mean for Treasure Coast families. We need to protect eligible patients and have a serious conversation about universal healthcare.

Firefighters, families and community members came together to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor those who answered the call and stand together 25 years later The 3.43-mile distance carries a special meaning, honoring the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

Caruso was arrested on five felony charges, for crimes against a child. These are allegations, and Caruso is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence. However, it is extremely disappointing to see that my current congressman, Brian Mast, still chose to participate in this event.

Closing “Alligator Alcatraz” is a victory for justice and the Everglades. Thank you to the Miccosukee Tribe for defending its ancestral lands, protecting our environment and standing for human dignity. We must always respect Tribal sovereignty.

Reports of an Oct. 1 nationwide trucker strike remain unconfirmed, but the crisis behind them is real. Soaring diesel prices are hurting truckers, small businesses and working families. Our leaders must act now to stabilize fuel costs and protect our supply chain.

Palm Beach County residents have every right to question how their tax dollars are invested, including more than $1 BILLION in Israel Bonds. Removing residents and arresting a speaker raises serious concerns. Public meetings should welcome accountability, not silence it.

📢 Fort Pierce residents: Make your voice heard! Community members are gathering Thursday, Sept. 17, from 11:30 AM–1:30 PM outside City Hall regarding the proposed Project Neptune data center before the 2 PM meeting. Show up. Ask questions. Be heard.

As a healthcare worker and community leader, I’m concerned that Florida would consider lifting vaccine requirements without first researching or analyzing the potential consequences. Public health decisions should follow evidence, data, and science, not ideology. Our children aren’t experiments.

25 years later, we remember. As a firefighter and paramedic, I honor the 2,977 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families forever changed. Their courage, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

The arrest of a Fort Pierce officer accused of improperly using Flock cameras proves why I oppose mass surveillance. Public safety matters, but so does privacy. Government technology should protect our communities, not turn innocent residents into targets of constant tracking.

NYC Unseals 9/11 Files: Mayor Zohran Mamdani released more than 170,000 pages of NYC records on the government’s 9/11 response and settled two 9/11 Health Watch lawsuits, ending years of battles over post-attack air quality and health records.
