Current Campaigns
Public Good from Public MoneyGood government benefits the people. It makes sense to use public money for the common good. That’s why Dade County voters approved $3 billion in taxpayer bonds to improve publicly-owned facilities across South Florida, including the historic Orange Bowl stadium in Little Havana. |

Fairness in FlowersThe Fairness in Flowers Campaign brings the South Florida Jobs with Justice coalition of union members, community leaders, activists, and women’s organizations together in support of the struggle of Colombian flower workers.
