Calling All Democrats @ Mosaics

Calling all phone bank volunteers!

We are calling all volunteers to repeat the successful results we achieved in the last presidential election. Now we must work to get more Democrats who represent our interests elected to the Florida Legislature and U.S. Congress.

Come to Mosaics this Saturday. You can make a difference in the upcoming election. We can turn this into a statewide victory.

Democrats Unite!

(For those who have cell phones with unlimited minutes, it’s helpful to bring them but not necessary)

Who is The Florida New Majority?

The Florida New Majority is a grassroots organization that mobilizes communities to exercise their collective power on issues like declining neighborhoods, quality education, affordable health care and individual rights.

They’ve called on Rick Scott to support the Dream Act and Marco Rubio to support immigration reform. They have staged sit-ins, community training and protests at the Florida legislature.

Quotes from Gihan Perera, Executive Director of Florida New Majority:

“Senator Rubio was seen as a clear champion on this (immigration reform) issue, but recent reporting reveal a double-talking salesman who is privately sabotaging the very bill he authored and publicly supports.”

“Gov. Rick Scott’s veto of the Driver’s License Law is yet another example of his consistent activism against minority rights. In this case, Gov. Scott is denying a law that has broad bi-partisan support and is already in current practice in the state. In passing this bill by overwhelming majorities in the House and Senate, state officials signaled that they understood that very little is achieved economically and socially by delaying driver’s licenses to those who the state already recognizes as having a right to obtain one under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Executive Order.
