Miami-Dade Teen Democrats

Interested in learning more about ’s re-election campaign and getting involved? Head over to the link in shown for this event on August 3rd!

While the Teen Democrats are not endorsing any candidate, the change we as students need does not come from mudslinging, and we hope that campaigns throughout all races focus on the issues and advancement of policies benefitting Miami’s students.

George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless others have had their lives cut short at the hands of systemic racism in American policing. This inherent inequity has pervaded our criminal justice system since its founding, and now — through Black-led movements and the support of allies — we are demanding change. The work of growing ourselves and the Miami-Dade community extends beyond social media posts.

As the executive board, we have donated $75 to the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund: an organization centered on ameliorating the criminal justice system and promotions national political participation

The Miami-Dade Teen Democrats is calling upon other caucuses, elected officials, candidates for office (past and present), and anyone who is able to match our donation to one of funds the advancing or aiding affected small businesses here: https://tinyurl.com/ybqlbxtu.

If you are able to donate, tag us in a post once done! We’d love to keep the momentum going. 🤍

From everyone at Miami Dade Teen-Dems, we wish everyone a happy Ramadan during these uncertain times, and hope everyone may use this time to reflect!

Beyond names, the victims of this heinous tragedy were people whose losses have devastated innumerable families and communities. We must honor them through our activism and push for pragmatic policy change. 🧡👼🏽

Yesterday, we were joined by Former State Rep. Asencio and State Senator Jason Pizzo for our first Day of Action. New and veteran members hailed from Miami Edison SHS, Carol City, SHS, American SHS, School for Advanced Studies, Coral Gables SHS, and Miami Arts Studio.

Attention was brought to the difference between representation/advocacy versus action, as well as an in-depth exploration of the state’s criminal justice system and how different communities are disproportionately affected.

With Senator Pizzo, we remembered Gonzalo Vizcardo, his cherished work in Democratic politics, and the need to get him justice.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and if you know a high schooler who’d like to get involved, refer them to our sign-up link:
