Bayard Rustin was the chief architect of the 1963 March on Washington — yet his name was often left out because he was openly gay & unapologetically principled. A strategist committed to nonviolence and coalition-building, Rustin believed real change required both moral courage & smart organizing.

For Black History Month, we’re honoring General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr., a Pensacola native whose legacy reaches far beyond our city.

Born in Pensacola in 1920, Chappie James grew up in a segregated South & went on to break barriers that once seemed immovable. He became the first Black four-star

Because people stood up, the rule of law is being tested—exactly as it should be in a democracy.

Two Florida voters have now taken legal action against Governor Ron DeSantis after he issued a proclamation calling a special legislative session on congressional redistricting this April.

ICE is now using face-scanning technology in public spaces, including on people who protest or document raids, & that should alarm every one of us.

Agents are using an app called Mobile Fortify that allows them to point a phone at someone’s face, capture a biometric profile, & instantly compare it

Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin.
At just 15 years old, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus. She was arrested, handcuffed, & largely erased from the public story because she was young, outspoken, & didn’t fit the image leaders thought America would accept.

This Black History Month, we honor Garrett Morgan, an inventor whose brilliance quite literally saved lives. Best known for inventing an early version of the traffic signal and the safety hood, a precursor to the modern gas mask. Morgan used his ingenuity to protect people in moments of danger.

🚨 TAKE ACTION NOW: Stop SB 1334 🚨
Florida’s version of the so-called “SAVE” Act — SB 1334 — is up for a hearing this Wednesday, and it’s a serious threat to our right to vote.
This bill would make it much easier for eligible U.S. citizens to be wrongly purged from voter rolls just because of

👀 So… Florida DOGE just dropped a report on Pensacola.
And it’s raising some real questions.
The state’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) says it found about $1.4 million in “questionable contracts” tied to City of Pensacola spending after a short review last summer.

February is Black History Month — a time to honor the brilliance, resistance, creativity, & leadership of Black people, past & present.

Black history is not a side note. It is foundational. It is the story of courage in the face of violence, of community in the face of exclusion, of joy as an act

Minneapolis showed us the path.
When ICE invaded, the people shut the city down.

That’s the power of a general strike.
That’s the power of organized communities.

On January 30, our city will answer the call.
We are walking out. We are shutting it down.
This is how we fight back.
