Florida’s vote-by-mail rules changed
as of January 1, 2025.
All voters now have to request a mail
ballot every two years. Over 1.2
million Florida Democrats (and
over 95,000 in Pinellas!) who voted in
2024 had to request a new
vote-by-mail ballot.
Pinellas Democrats made over
100,000 phone calls before the
Primary Election. We have made
progress. Many Democrats have re-
enrolled. But not all.
JOIN US! We aren’t done yet!
You may make calls from home
anytime between 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Monday – Saturday, and 11:00 AM –
7:00 PM on Sundays! You pick the
times that work for you from the
comfort of your own home. Training
tools and resources will be
provided after you sign-up.
If you would like any additional
training or support, please feel free to
sign-up to join us in person on

mail ballot every two years?!? Over 1.2
million Florida Democrats (and over
95,000 in Pinellas!) who voted in
2024 have to request a mail ballot
before August 6.
Pinellas Democrats have made over
100,000 calls to help re-enroll

3:30 – Sign waving protest
5:00 – Interfaith Freedom Vigil
Pinellas County Justice Center
14250 49 St N in Clearwater
Join the Florida Interfaith Coalition
and allies for a Freedom Vigil as we
stand in solidarity with immigrant
families and demand an end to the
detention and deportation of our
nonviolent, law-abiding immigrant
community neighbors, siblings, and
friends. Around the state
people gather at the
same time each week outside local
jails and detention centers, where
immigrants await transfer and
deportation. We believe that our
immigrant neighbors should not be
held at these jails. It diverts resources
from our local budgets to separate
families and disappear people with no
due process. We pray for family
reunification and justice for all
immigrants. Together, we affirm that
justice, compassion, and the rule of
law must apply to everyone—
regardless of immigration status.
Mass deportation policies don’t just
tear families apart; they set a
dangerous precedent that threatens
the constitutional rights of all
Americans. When due process is
denied to one group, the foundation of
democracy itself is weakened. By
coming together in public prayer,
witness, and solidarity, we send a clear
message: Our communities believe in
fairness, dignity, and accountability.
This is a peaceful, family-friendly
event featuring interfaith clergy,
moments of reflection, and
opportunities to take action.
And please bring a donation to help
our neighbors in need: maseca (masa
flour), corn husks, rice (1 lb bag),
vegetable oil, corn tostadas, dried
lentils (1 lb bag), dried red beans (1 lb
bag), and pickled/canned jalapeños.
Monetary donations are the most
direct and helpful support because
they allow flexibility in meeting urgent
needs and providing fresh foods.
You may donate here.

Tuesday – September 1
Vigil – 5:00 to 6:00 pm
Corner of Ulmerton Rd
and 49 St in mid-Pinellas
On Tuesday, September 1, Governor
Ron DeSantis is executing Harold
Gene Lucas after nearly 50 years on
death row. It is the longest anyone has
been on death row in Florida. It will be
DeSantis’ fourteenth execution this
year. Since January 2025, he has over
seen 28 executions, scheduled roughly
every two weeks.
Meanwhile, there are signs of hope.
Florida and Governor DeSantis are
outliers. In the past thirty years
executions and new death sentences
have fallen nationwide because of
rising concerns about accuracy and the
cost, and because of declining public
support. Join us in spreading
this hope to Florida.
Sign the petition to stay Harold Gene
Lucas’ execution here

And join the community vigil during
the execution this Tuesday, September 1,
from 5:00-6:00 pm at Ulmerton Road

Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office
10750 Ulmerton Rd in Largo
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s
Department has trained 47 deputies to
work with ICE, and 36 have
been trained as Warrant Officers.
Since the beginning of the crackdown
on immigration, which began in
January 2025, immigrants in Pinellas
have been arrested and taken to the
Pinellas County jail where they wait to
be picked up by ICE and taken to a
detention center. There are substantial
reports of human rights violations in
those detention centers. At least 70%
of those arrested have
committed no crime.
They are refugees who
have been denied due process, a
constitutional right guaranteed to all
persons within the United States,
including non-citizens.
We demand our sheriff and other
public servants end their agreement to
work with ICE. Per the sheriff’s
department public affairs office, they
have received no money from the
federal government to compensate them.
We say No to ICE in Pinellas County.
End the 287(g) agreement.
Close the Detention Centers.
No Warehouse Detention Centers.
