The Pinellas/Hillsborough Interfaith Coalition, LWVSPA, and our allies host a peaceful Freedom Vigil to stand in solidarity with immigrant families and demand an end to the detention and deportation of our nonviolent, law-abiding immigrant community neighbors, siblings, and friends. These vigils shine a light on the erosion of due process and the rise of authoritarian overreach. We pray for family reunification and justice for all immigrants. Together, we affirm that justice, compassion, and the rule of law must apply to everyone—regardless of immigration status.

Community Centered Development Team Meeting
2026-09-09 18:00 - 19:30, 2026-08-12 18:00 - 19:30, 2026-07-08 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Florida
Smart development centers people and planet at the heart of city planning, managing growth sustainably and equitably to put the public good over narrow individual benefits for any one stakeholder group, geographic area or private business interest or sector. It’s a great way to strengthen democracy and public participation between election days where it affects us most – our own backyards.

With such a broad topic in a rapidly changing coastal city facing the pressures of climate change, shifting demographics and economic development, it’s an exciting time to get involved, show some love to the place you live, and be a part of shaping its future.

Recent redistricting has significantly reshaped Congressional District 16, adding the southern tip of St. Petersburg, all of Manatee, DeSoto and Hardee Counties, and part of Sarasota County. The League has been working diligently to reach voters in these newly added areas to ensure that all voters have access to reliable, nonpartisan information.

Republican candidates for US House D-16 will answer questions developed by the League of Women Voters of Manatee County, along with questions submitted at least one week before the forum. If you have a question you’d like considered, please send it, as well as which candidate forum the question is for, to info@lwvmanatee.org.
