The local chapter of Southern Christian Leadership Conference Indian River County Chapter will host a Press Conference following the County Commission meeting scheduled August 17, 2021, 9:00am outside of the Commissioners Chambers located 1801 27th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960.
Proposed Resolution request is to adopt a Single Member District to provide black American representation within the constitution offices of Indian River County.
It is apparent and can be concluded that after its nearly 100 years of existence, blacks have never occupied a chairmanship or supervisory position in these offices and several of these offices have not had one full time black employee.
It is now imperative that we take the necessary legal measures to gain access to these offices that are funded by our taxes. This meeting will expose the gentrification devices and techniques employed by this County. The violation of civil and voting rights as well as the voter suppression and gerrymandering devises used to oppress blacks in this county. The violation of the freedom of information act is wide spread by practically all of the five offices.
Even when written requests citing Florida Statue 119.07 (Public Records request law is stated along with our request), hard evidence and facts are presented supporting all allegations.
Evidence of deprivation, exploitation, gentrification are all apparent in the governing process of Indian River County.
We are underrepresented and/or not represented in all of the constitutional offices funded by our tax dollars. Taxation without representation is tyranny.
