How we work
Meet first Tuesday, work the other twenty-nine days.
Every meeting opens with the calendar for the next four weeks and closes with a written commitment list. Between meetings, working groups handle petitions, candidate vetting, the rep-contact desk, and the food-and-childcare logistics that make showing up possible.
What we do
A coalition for people who already work two jobs.
We do the homework so the meeting time isn't wasted. We publish agendas in advance, vote out loud, write down what we promised, and follow up the next week. Less manifesto, more meeting agenda.
“Democracy isn't a vibe; it's a Tuesday-night calendar
entry, a phone call to a county commissioner, and the
sign-in sheet that proves you were there.”
Where we're focused
Three things between now and November.
1. Get Amendment 4 over the signature threshold.
18,000 in Pinellas, headed for 30,000 by June 15.
2. Publish the school-board scorecards by July
12 — 60 days out from the August primary.
3. Run a county-commission watchdog rotation
through the entire FY27 budget cycle, August through November.
