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 Celebrate Local Economy and Local Businesses on Black Friday, November 25, 2011
St. Aug Group will "Occupy" Black Friday to Encourage Shopping Local Businesses
St. Augustine – Organizers say encouraging holiday shopping at local businesses and craft markets is the goal of a Black Friday protest to be held November 25 in the oldest city’s Plaza de la Constitucion – which also the oldest Market in America.
The protest will begin at 6 a.m. and go until 6 p.m., with people encouraged to bring signs encouraging local shopping rather holidays than at the big chains and box stores.
“We realize some people can’t stay for the entire day, but even if they came for a little while, the message will be worth it. It’s a chance to do something good for the local economy,” said an organizer who asked not to be named.
The group continues to hold meetings in the plaza on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m.
