Civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Rep. Jasmine Crockett urged South Floridians to focus on local politics and community empowerment during a town hall in Miami Gardens. The event emphasized the need for political engagement among Black Americans, especially as the Democratic party faces challenges following the 2024 election. With about 500 attendees, the gathering aimed to reignite activism and awareness in the community. Crump's legal advocacy and Crockett's rising political influence highlight the ongoing struggle for civil rights and representation in America.
We are in a moment in this country where we all need some reteaching in how to get back out there and fight. I think the people are sick of politicking, and I think the people are sick of politics.
Before a crowd of about 500 people at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Miami Gardens, both leaders urged the crowd to stay focused on local politics, build community, and to stay engaged.
The Democratic party is still reeling from the 2024 election and trying to regroup after losing ground in several key demographics, including Black men.
Crockett, a rising star in the Democratic party, is known for being an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.
