“Miami’s climate emergency is a race against the clock. Whether we’re at seventeen feet elevation or at three feet elevation, all of us – our tax base, our flood insurance, our drinking  water – all of us are going to be impacted. Our political leaders need to understand the urgency; neglecting important decisions could spell serious doom for future generations, impacting those with fewer means the most. The longer we wait, the more difficult the solutions become. The Underwater seeks to engage, educate and inspire residents to become further involved so they can share what they learn and hold their elected officials accountable. Justice demands we right the wrongs that harm our communities for the benefit of a select few.”
