This weekend, Miami Beach came alive in a wave of color, music, and unity as our community gathered for the annual Pride Parade. A special thank you to Pride Parade Chair Bill Warren for his outstanding leadership in making this year’s event such an incredible success. We are also proud to share that this was our most successful Pride fundraiser yet—a true testament to the strength, generosity, and spirit of our community. But this year, Pride carried an even deeper meaning.

Did you know that Miami Beach has almost 1,000 voters listed as inactive? If you haven’t checked your voter registration status recently, you might be one of them.

From cities around the world to right here in Miami Beach, people showed up to defend something bigger than politics—our fundamental rights. The Constitution isn’t just history—it’s a promise: that power is limited, dissent is protected, and justice evolves. But when leaders—federal or local—challenge free expression or blur the line between service and control, that promise is put at risk. Peaceful protest is democracy in action. “The time is out of joint.” Let’s set it righ

Volunteers from the Miami Beach Democratic Club partnered with Clean Miami Beach for a neighborhood clean up, removing more than 70 pounds of trash from our community. Thank you to Clean Miami Beach Founder Sophie Ringel, our dedicated volunteers, and Board Member Linda Kolko for hosting a celebratory happy hour afterward.

Members of the Miami Beach Democratic Club gathered on March 2nd to elect the 2026–2028 Board, hear from guest speakers Jose Javier Rodriguez and Dr. Belinda Leon, and launch new organizing campaigns.

The Constitution is clear: the power to declare war rests with Congress. Any military action taken without congressional authorization undermines the checks and balances that protect our democracy. Regardless of who occupies the White House or which regime is involved abroad, decisions that put lives at risk and commit our nation to conflict must be subject to congressional approval. Our democracy depends on accountability, transparency, and respect for the Constitution.

With so much going on in the world right now, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. We must channel our anger and fear into ACTION. Here are some actionable steps you can take to do your part.

Too busy. Too frazzled. Conflicting commitments. These excuses have kept me from posting a new blog for far too long — despite everything happening in our city and in our nation. But how do I justify myself to Alex Jeffrey Pretti , an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital, killed by ICE while trying to help another protestor? What do I say to Liam Conejo Ramos , a 5-year-old boy held and traumatized after ICE used him as bait to detain his undocumented father? N

Our January meeting kicked off the new year with an outstanding turnout and two truly inspiring speakers. Members and guests arrived early for a lively networking session, catching up and sharing holiday stories before the meeting officially began. Club Updates & Democrat of the Year Club President Amanda Knapp opened the meeting with important club updates and a review of recent local election results. She emphasized that the Club played a monumental role in the 2025 elect

You probably know the melody even if the rhyme poses a challenge. We made it through 2025! This alone is worthy of celebration, and we could think of no better occasion for rejoicing than the December 18, 2025, Annual Holiday Celebration & Volunteer Awards . At the Miami Beach Democratic Club, we are grateful for every one of our members. We are privileged to belong to a community united by a shared mission: advancing progressive values, strengthening democracy, and fostering

We deserve leadership that reflects our values—leaders who will protect public education, support LGBTQ+ residents, defend reproductive freedom, and stand firmly for democracy. Monica Matteo-Salinas represents those values.

Miami Beach was built on bold ideas, creative expression, and the courage to stand up for what’s right — not on silence and fear. Yet today, Steven Meiner’s pattern of avoidance and inaction threatens the very values that make our city thrive. From staying quiet as symbols of equality are torn down, to supporting laws that stifle free speech and protest, to walking away when accountability is needed most, Meiner has shown that silence isn’t strength — it’s surrender.

Buckle up, Miami Beach. We are racing to protect what makes this city worth every ounce of effort: our democracy, our humanity, our shared sense of community. The starting flag has been waved, and we must get revved up with purpose and speed ahead to get out the vote. Paradise is only paradise if everyone feels safe, seen, and heard. It is up to us to elect progressive local leaders who will make a real difference and act as our last resort shield against the pernicious attac
