Rep. Darren Soto Featured at Tiger Bay Club @ Bartow Civic Center
Mar 13 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm

representative Soto will be the featured speaker at this Republican leaning luncheon. He appreciates all the democrats who come out to support hm.

Elected in 2016, Darren Soto represents Central Florida in Congress. The 9th District includes all of Osceola and parts of Orange and Polk Counties. Serving for a decade in the Florida Legislature, Darren is the first Floridian of Puerto Rican descent to serve in Congress. Soto graduated from Rutgers University and George Washington University School of Law. His hobbies include playing guitar, pastel painting, and kayaking. Initially joining his local Orlando Young Democrats club to make friends, he was soon encouraged to run for the Florida House. At the age of 29, he ran, won, and has brought a sense of humility to public service ever since.

Meeting with Osceola Sheriff Gibson
Mar 23 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am

Just a short while ago, a federal judge in Hawaii put a stop to President Trump’s latest Muslim ban only a few hours before it was set to go into effect at midnight.
Once again, the rule of law has prevailed.
We are of course happy with this result but recognize that the fight is far from over. The only way to fix a Muslim ban is to get rid of it permanently, and the Trump Administration has shown no sign of giving up this fight.
But make no mistake, neither will we. The ACLU is going to continue to fight President Trump in the courts, and with the launch of People Power we are taking the fight to the streets as well.
But that means we can’t rest on tonight’s victory or the massive organizing success of our Resistance Trainings last weekend. We must keep going. So I have to ask you to do something important:
Can you attend a local organizing event near you? Meeting together with People Power activists is the best way to carry our movement forward in communities across the country.
Meeting with Sheriff Gibson
in Kissimmee, Florida 34744
Thursday, March 23, 9:30 AM

I know that right after the election there was a tremendous amount of fear and angst about what it means to have Donald Trump as our president for the next four years. But what we are proving, together, since his inauguration is that we’re not stuck with Donald Trump as our president, it’s him who is stuck with us.
In solidarity,
Faiz Shakir
ACLU, People Power
