Create Multiple Benefits through Equitable Climate Action End Miami-Dade County's Affordable Housing Crisis Close the Racial Wealth Gap by Achieving Economic Justice Reinvest Dollars Saved by Reducing our County Prison Population

Racial Justice

Answer
South Florida has been built on the exploitation and marginalization of Black and Indigenous people. This has decimated wealth in these populations; for example, the median liquid asset value for Black Miamians is $11 as compared to $10,750 for Whites. It's a matter of life and death: children in Miami's Black communities live 15 fewer years than those in communities just a few miles away.
Policy change in Miami-Dade County will not be possible without addressing Miami's entrenched racial inequities. For this reason, we place racial justice front and center in every aspect of our policy platform.
