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!

LAUDATO SI: "“Unless citizens control political power - national, regional and municipal - it will not be possible to control damage to the environment.” -- Pope Francis, Laudato Si, June 18, 2015
Dear Pope Francis, please do come speak here in St. Augustine on the occasion of our 450th anniversary. We need you to hold an exorcism, de facto or de jure, for businessmen and politicians who are rapidly ruining St. Augustine and St. Johns County, destroying our history, nature and culture. We need to enact the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore, now, to keep our birthright here from becoming, in Pope Francis' words, "an immense pile of filth."
