Upcoming Rallies and other Calls to Action
JUNE = PRIDE MONTH!
Although many communities celebrate Pride at other times of the year, June is known as Pride Month, a time to celebrate and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. This year the Treasure Coast LGBTQ+ Pride Fest was held on June 1 to start it off, and Martin Democrats showed up to support this community. We marched in the parade and had a booth where we gathered about 130 Medicaid petitions, educated and helped many to submit VBM requests, and also added about 20 people to the list of those interested in joining the Treasure Coast Democratic LGBTQ+ Caucus. We're hoping to officially establish this group soon.
As Trump and DeSantis continue to attack the LGBTQ+ community, it's even more important for allies to step up and support this group.
Below are some photos taken of our day at Pride Fest. The day started with heavy rain and tornado warnings, but we were troopers. We showed up and marched and celebrated with the crowd. No rainbows in the sky, but the weather got better throughout the day....and many appreciated very much that Martin Dems were there.

Protest at Brian Mast's Office
175 SW Flagler Ave
11am - 12pm
We are joining forces with the local Indivisible HR group to call attention to Mast's support of the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the Trump administration. If you were at the town hall that was held recently, you heard Mast say he unequivocably supports Trump and Musk. Mast is not defending the constitution. He is not representing all of his constituents. Come join the protest. Note the new time is 11am-12pm.

Martin County Democrats support the initiatives for the Right to Clean Water and for Medicaid Expansion for Low-Income Residents. However, due to a new law that recently went into effect, we should not be gathering new signatures for the new Florida Right to Clean Water petitions at this time. If you have any signed petitions, get them to Carol Ann at the next Democratic meeting or contact her at bonbinifromcal@aol.com and she will make arrangements to get them from you.
Medicaid expansion petitions are still being handled. Click on the Florida Decides Healthcare button above to view more info and to print out the petition. Or you can come by headquarters to fill out and submit it there. Office is at 611 SW Federal Hwy, Suite K1. Office is open M-F, 9am-1pm.
