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!

Another beautiful day in a beautiful place, and we're working tirelessly for a national park, seashore and scenic coastal parkway
No longer should citizen-activists feel like we're playing "wack-a-mole" at an arcade game, or constantly battling to prevent Philistines from damaging the landscape equivalent of the Sistine Chapel frescoes.
From the historic and beautiful Fish Island marshes on SR 312 to the view from our Cathedral, these battles are worth fighting and winning and winning and winning.
