This weekend marked the first Democratic Progressive Caucus conference in a few years.

The Miami chapter was proud to participate, with our president Ange Montalvo representing the chapter in panels and leadership discussions. Throughout the weekend we engaged with organizers, union leaders, progressive candidates, communications teams, and movement builders doing the work on the ground across Florida.

There were powerful panels, a leadership retreat, and a recognition dinner, but more importantly there were real conversations about strategy, structure, and how we build lasting progressive infrastructure in this state.

Let’s be clear about the moment we are in. Florida’s political leadership has been shaped and constrained by corporate interests for far too long. exists as a resistance to that capture. We are willing to speak on issues others call too risky because we are not guided by consultants. We are guided by shared values and the lived realities of our communities.

This conference marks the beginning of renewed, coordinated work across chapters.

If you are ready to organize, to build power locally, and to help reshape the Democratic Party from the ground up, now is the time to get involved. The link to join our chapter is in our bio.

First time meeting in person with Matthew Grocholske, president of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, today at the Capitol in Tallahassee.

I gave him a shirt I earned canvassing for Zohran Mamdani in NYC. That shirt represents something bigger than a campaign. It represents disciplined grassroots organizing, precinct level work, and the belief that everyday people can take on entrenched power and win.

That’s the energy we need to build in Florida.

If you’re a progressive Democrat who believes our party should actually fight for civil rights, universal healthcare, housing, and dignity for all, join the DPCF. If there’s a local chapter near you, plug in. If there isn’t one yet, let’s start it.

This is how we build a strong progressive base inside the Democratic Party. Not by waiting. By organizing.

At the Florida Capitol today with CAIR and community advocates, making the case that building a strong progressive base inside the Democratic Party matters because Muslims are constituents too, and every community deserves lawmakers who listen, protect civil rights, and govern with care instead of fear.

When we organize, we elect leaders like Rep. Dotie Joseph, whose team met with us today and took our concerns seriously. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when progressives show up, organize precinct by precinct, and build power inside the party instead of abandoning it.

We’re opposing a slate of dangerous bills that expand government overreach, erode due process, and chill free speech. The so called police state bills target Muslims under the guise of security, allowing executive agencies to label organizations without trials and punishing association instead of criminal conduct. HB 31 erases Palestinian identity and drags Florida into foreign policy using religious language. HB 111 risks policing political speech on campuses and undermining academic freedom.

Progressive politics is not just about reacting to bad bills. It’s about building the infrastructure to elect Democrats who will actually defend civil rights, religious freedom, and constitutional protections for everyone.

Organizing inside the party is how we change who writes the laws.

Update on mutual aid: we were able to secure bags of blankets, clothing, and other warming supplies ahead of the cold weather. So grateful to all the volunteers and especially the one and only Miss Paulette and her family who washed and distributed the items.

It’s not too late to get involved, the link to join the mutual aid working group chat is still up in our bio!

We believe that it is a complete failure of our institutions for the basic human need for shelter and adequate clothing to be denied to any one. It is a result of systemic failure that permeates every facet of our lives from the lack of nutritious and local food to the commodification of healthcare which is a result in turn of our broken campaign finance system.

If you want to join us in organizing towards the practice of universal healthcare and housing, join our caucus.

Quick mutual aid update for folks.

We’re moving fast today because of the cold, and I want to share a key update.

We secured an additional drop off site in Overtown with Green Haven Project.

Green Haven is a community based project focused on food sovereignty and mutual aid. They run a community garden, donate locally grown produce, and operate a food and goods pantry for neighbors in Overtown.

They’re able to receive clothing donations today from 8:30 to 12:30. I’m tagging them here so you can follow their page and find details directly.

If you’re closer to Overtown and have blankets, jackets, warm clothing, or socks, this helps us move items quickly as the cold hits.

This is a quickly moving mutual aid effort, and we’re coordinating pickups and drop offs in real time to get supplies out before tonight.

If you want to help, you can join the mutual aid group chat through the link in our bio. Someone will follow up so we can coordinate.

And if you want to get involved more broadly in the work we do, building a progressive base in Miami and across Florida to fight for people first policies like housing and healthcare, you can sign up through that same link.

It’s all connected. Care, dignity, and power.
Thanks to everyone showing up.

A cold front is hitting Miami this weekend, and for neighbors living outside, even a few cold nights can be dangerous.

We are organizing a mutual aid effort to collect and distribute blankets, warm clothing, and socks for unhoused neighbors across Miami. If you want to help with donations, pickup, drop off, or distribution, join the group chat linked in our bio.

This is neighbors helping neighbors. No experience needed. Just care and solidarity.

Community agreements

This is a dignity first mutual aid space. We show up with respect for all people, including q***r and trans folks, immigrants, and people of all backgrounds. No bigotry, harassment, or harm will be tolerated.

We showed up to tell the truth and to organize. Not for the optics. Not just to take pictures.

At today’s action, members of the People’s Progressive Caucus of Miami Dade spoke openly about abolishing ICE and holding Democratic leadership accountable. Then we got to work. We talked to people in the crowd and collected 25 petitions for a real pathway to citizenship so we can follow up with concrete next steps.

What we heard was clear. This message is broadly popular with the base. People are tired of being told to be patient. Tired of vote blue no matter who. Tired of watching migrants get scapegoated while leadership protects the status quo.

Yes, some party operatives were upset and told us to focus on Republicans. But we are Democrats. And we believe you wash the inside of the cup first so the outside gets clean too. Accountability starts at home.

The strategy is simple. Organize the base. Show people how to engage the party directly. Attend your local Democratic Executive Committee meetings. Listen, learn, and make your voice heard. That’s how we force change.

If you want to be part of this work, follow the link in our bio to join the caucus or sign the petition. This is about building power, not just posting about it.

Miami Progressive Caucus President Angel Montalvo spoke at the protest at FIU Yesterday calling to abolish ICE and to hold Democrats accountable.

Yes, there was anger. And that anger is justified. People are being killed, detained, deported, and scapegoated while Democratic leadership tells us to be patient and vote blue no matter who.

Here’s the truth. Under Democratic leadership, ICE funding has increased. Seven Democrats just voted with Republicans to advance DHS funding. Migrants keep being used as political cover while the party protects the status quo.

What gives us hope wasn’t the operatives pulling us aside, telling us to focus our anger towards Republicans. It was the people in the crowd. When I explained what actually happened in Congress, people understood immediately. When I told them they could show up to local Democratic Party meetings and hold leadership accountable, most had no idea that was even possible and wanted in.

This is what organizing looks like. Righteous anger plus strategy. Truth plus follow through.

We’re collecting petitions for a real pathway to citizenship so we can organize pressure on Senate leadership and push our local and state Democratic Party to take a unified stand.

If that makes some people uncomfortable, good. That’s how we know we’re doing something right.

Abolish ICE. Build accountability. Protect our communities.

Today at the Torch of Friendship in downtown Miami, community members gathered to reject 287(g) agreements, call for the abolition of ICE, and demand a real pathway to citizenship. These demands are rooted in a simple truth: migrant communities are not expendable. They are the heart of Miami’s culture, labor, and history.

The killing of Renee is not an isolated tragedy. It is the predictable outcome of an immigration system built on criminalization and enforcement instead of dignity and care. When local police cooperate with ICE and when Democratic leadership mirrors Republican immigration policies, the result is violence, family separation, and loss of life.

Democrats must choose a different path. That means ending all cooperation between City of Miami police and ICE, terminating 287(g) agreements, abolishing ICE, holding abusers of power criminally accountable, and establishing a clear pathway to citizenship so this harm does not continue.

If you want to move beyond statements and into action, sign the petition and join the caucus. This is how power is built. This is how migrant communities are protected.
