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

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

Mayor Suárez chooses to split Coconut Grove among three 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 .

Holland & Knight attorney and consultant Miguel De Grandy presented the preliminary redistricting plan at City Hall on Monday.  CARL JUSTE   CJUSTE@MIAMIHERALD.COM Coconut Grove isn’t just Miami’s charming and oldest neighborhood. Its citizens are among the most politically engaged in the city — often a thorn on the side of some politicians.  The community, which was first settled by Bahamian pioneers more than a century ago and predates the city, is under threat of having its political influence diluted. At even higher risk is the political strength of the Grove’s historic Black community at a time when i...
