Natoma Manors HOA and Grove Park are meeting to pursue relief. The NAACP and ACLU are mobilizing to reverse the transfer to Reyes. Separate pleadings to the county's and state's ethics boards are in process. Legal suits are in draft and coordination. More stuff too, that we don't talk about.

Mayor Suárez chooses to split Coconut Grove among three districts

Today Mayor Suárez @francissuarez failed to veto Miami’s redistricting and thereby split Coconut Grove among three commission districts. Instead he tweeted about a fun run scheduled for Tuesday. @MiamiMayor’s account tweeted about celebrating Walk in the Park Day.  Dear Engaged Citizens, One Grove will—as promised—pursue legal actions to reverse the actions of Miami’s Elected. Your support has made that possible. Thank you. The legal campaign is being funded through your grassroots contributions, accepted through GoFundMe at  https://gofund.me/145c0fb8 . Or check to: “The Grove First Inc., One Grove” c/o 3090 Virginia St, Coconut Grove FL 33133 Thank you

Veto Rally Thursday 10:00 City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive

Now is the time for emotion. Logic, reason, facts, analysis and well-spoken civic engagement have failed against the interests of three City Commissioners. Join your unanimous neighbors at City Hall this Thursday morning, 10:00.  A classic, full-throated protest against the actions of the only three people in Miami that wanted to cut up the Grove's representation. The goal?  Influence Mayor Francis Suarez (notably distant from this critical issue) to engage with a veto.  Very simple. Very straightforward. No RSVP is needed, but you can let us know that you're coming here:  https://forms.gle/SVbhP3CFWQ63aKNf8
