In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Come hear the City of St. Augustine's so-called plan for Riberia Street, the poorest excuse for a "street" in the entire Southern United States.
Our City of St. Augustine, Florida exemplilfies environmental racism.
Lincolnville, otherwise known as "the Pollution Peninsula" hasn't had a proper playground in 20 years.
Lincolnville has been victimized by solid waste and sewage dumping.
Lincolnville has the worst streets in the City, the worst of which is Riberia.
Come tell off the City of St. Augustine and speak out against its environmental racism.
Riberia Street has never been right.
Riberia Street never will be right without massive citizen protest.
Bring your family.
Bring your coworkers.
Bring your friends.
Bring your guitar.
Like any good diplomats, don't take no for an answer.
