Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
We continue to honor those no longer with us through action, and push back against hateful and dangerous rhetoric that targets already marginalized communities.

The organizers of Space Coast Light Festival in Palm Bay announced this week that the festival was canceled for “reasons beyond our control.”1 CommentComment on Facebook
That sucks. I was looking forward to attending the Light Festival this year. I hope the organizers can find suitable land for all their events next year. Wickham Park has really dropped the ball by killing off all these popular and fun community events on their premises.
“Few mammals saved under the Endangered Species Act are as iconic, beloved or bickered about than the Florida manatee. Now the petitioners and lawyers are lining up yet again to save the starving sea cow.
Decades of pride and millions of dollars are at stake riding on the species salvation.”

If we don’t change our ways and make sustainability a requirement of Florida growth management, I fear we will have to file for environmental bankruptcy sooner rather than later."

“Floridians, take notice. Your right to a representative government is being stolen away.
Recent headlines document angry eruptions among an audience of people who show up to meetings ready to tell their leaders what they think — only to be muzzled by time limits that shut down some would-be participants before they could utter a single word.
More often, however, the exclusion is happening quietly and secretly, in meetings that never take place. Closed doors that should be open. A row of empty seats on a dais, facing a roomful of chairs that are also empty.
The result, however, is the same: The only people who can register their concerns face-to-face with their elected officials are the elites who can afford the private clubs and campaign contributions that give them direct access to power. The voices of regular Floridians are shut out or told to shut up.”
