The New Florida Majority
"The New Florida Majority is an independent organization working to increase the voting and political power of marginalized and excluded constituencies toward an inclusive, equitable, and just Florida. We believe in a participatory democracy where people can be their whole selves. We train grassroots citizens to be leaders, mobilize communities to vote, educate the public to share our values, and inspire Floridians to take action toward their dreams. We organize people, ideas, and resources to build a powerful new vision for Florida’s new majority. A cornerstone of our beliefs is defending and expanding the voting rights of all citizens, including those who are new to the country, raising children on their own, struggling to make a living, or returning from incarceration. We believe that a strong democracy for all makes a better Florida for everyone."

Havana. We fight for good paying jobs, affordable housing, immigrant rights,

League of Women Voters of Miami-Dade County
"We are a nonpartisan organization made up of women and men of all ages and backgrounds which encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League accomplishes its mission by registering voters, holding debates and public forums, advocating for positions to influence public policy, and providing resources to help inform voters. In Miami-Dade, we also provide members with networking and career development opportunities."
"Our mission is to
continually improve Ryder Trauma Center’s response to gun violence. The efforts
of GVRAP start with improving services for the individual gunshot victim and
expand outwards into advocacy work within the medical community and Miami-Dade
community to raise awareness of gun violence and promote its prevention. This
stems from an understanding that comprehensive trauma systems are ideal public
health models and include community prevention, pre-hospital triage, emergency medical
care, and rehabilitation services. GVRAP is building capacity to address gun
violence in each of these domains and contributing to the growing research body
for the public health epidemic of gun violence."
