We show up even when they don’t.

While city officials changed course, our commitment remains the same: standing with our communities, demanding accountability, and organizing until our people are thriving not just surviving. ✊🏾

Step Up & Speak Up ✊🏾

Last week, The Black Collective joined community members at the Miami-Dade Housing Committee meeting to raise concerns about the housing crisis, displacement, and the rising cost of living.

Residents made it clear: Miami must work for the people who call it home not push them out.

Yesterday, The Black Collective stood with community members and local businesses at a press conference demanding accountability from our city leaders. 🔥

Our communities deserve leaders who work alongside the people not developers looking to profit at our expense. We will continue organizing and fighting for policies that put residents first.💯

If any other business in this area are facing the same issues and concerns please feel free to hit us up we could love to hear your voices 🗣️

$3.5 million invested by the people. Sold for $10. Make it make sense. We need & deserve some answers

When the people speak, leaders should listen. Advocating for our community should never be met with attitude. We’ll keep showing up, speaking out, and standing for what’s right. ✊🏾

They call it a deal. We call it daylight robbery.

$3.5 million of our tax dollars sold for $10.

Pull up, speak out, and remind them: Miami belongs to the people not the highest bidder. ❌

15 years of service. Months without answers. Mr. Eddie built Young’s Famous Car Wash into a community landmark within the inner city of Miami

Now he’s demanding transparency and accountability from the City of Miami and the 79th Street CRA.

This Is Our City People’s Movement Assembly reminded us what becomes possible when Black communities come together with clarity, care, and purpose. From housing justice to collective safety, from neighborhood defense to long-term visioning, so much was shared, sharpened, and set in motion.

This assembly was not the end of anything. It was a beginning. Over the coming weeks, we will be reporting back, sharing next steps, and moving the work forward together. What was built in that space belongs to all of us, and we intend to honor it with action, transparency, and follow-through.

We were also deeply honored to present the Valencia Gunder Power of Us Award. This award is given annually on Valencia Gunder Day to uplift leaders who embody the spirit of collective power, justice, and community-led action. This year, we proudly honored Max Rameau, founder of Take Back the Land, for his unwavering dedication to housing justice, community sovereignty, and the reclamation of space for Black and frontline communities. His work reminds us that liberation is not theoretical. It is built, defended, and sustained by people willing to stand in it for the long haul.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, spoke truth, listened deeply, and committed themselves to what comes next. This is our city. And we are organizing to keep it that way.
