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.

2026-09-09 18:00 - 19:30, 2026-10-14 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York)
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.
