‼️ Help us protect Virginia Key North Point Park. Well, if you haven’t heard - last Thursday the City of Miami Commissioners voted to place a homeless encampment next to the trails to house 50-100 chronically homeless individuals. There’s a bunch of reasons that this can’t happen. It’s not good for the homeless, it’s not good for anyone. If you’d like to learn more about the timeline of the meeting, read the PowerPoint that was presented to the commissioners, and read why this isn’t a good location visit VKOC.net/savevirginiakey ✏️Please sign and share the petition change.org/savevirginiakey. ☎️Call or email the Commissioner. Tag them on photos of you and your family using the park on Instagram. Their handles are below ⬇️⬇️ ➡️ District #1 Alex Diaz de la Portilla (@alexdlpmia) - He voted no and then changed his mind. [email protected] (305) 250-5430 ➡️ District #3 Joe Carollo (@joecarollonow) [email protected] 305-960-4650 ➡️ District #5 Christine King (@iamchristineking) - [email protected] 305-250-5390 ➡️ Mayor Francis Suarez (@francissuarez) He has until Monday to veto this. He has not made any comments in regards to this. [email protected] (305) 250-5300 🗓 GATHERINGS THIS SATURDAY (08/06) This Saturday the Virginia Key Bicycle Club will be organizing a group ride. Please come and support. They will be departing from the volunteer area at 11AM and riding free bird. This is a family friendly ride. Most recently, Commissioner Carollo - the one spearheading this project, went on TV and called the trails dangerous and made some very untrue and accusatory statements. @SouthFloridaPaddlers will be organizing a Group Paddle in front of the Virginia Key Outdoor Center. Come hear from local activists and join them on the water. They depart at around 10:30AM. Be there by 10. @SouthFloridaSlackliners will be setting up from 1PM to sun down. Come enjoy. There will be a drum circle and more! Commissioner Christine King said the land being proposed for this project has not been used in 10 years. Again this isn’t true. Come on out and support! Let’s show them they’re wrong.
