In Miami, Cuban American progressives promote civic engagement ahead of midterms

After canvassing recently during a voting registration drive ahead of the voter registration deadline for this year's midterm elections, volunteers gathered at the Museum of Graffiti in Miami for a game of dominoes —  the national pastime played by most Cubans. The game was hosted by a group called the Miami Freedom Project, a grassroots organization formed by Cuban American progressives that promotes civic engagement in cultural spaces in Miami — a city facing increasing housing costs and rising sea levels. “You can talk about things that you love and care about. In this case it was, you know, climate in the city and what issues need to be addressed. And like, candidates who are related to kind of driving things forward in terms of climate since we're at ground zero,”  said Leilany Bruce, who attended the domino tournament after canvassing.  People gather to play dominoes, Cuba's national past-time, at the Museum of Graffiti in Miami.  Credit: Virginia Lora/The World In Florida, almost a third of Latinos are Cuban or Cuban American, with a particular history of escaping Cuba's communist authoritarian rule. For many, that has meant a stronger alignment with the Republican Party's hardline stance against communism. Now, progressives in Miami are trying to break the grip that Republicans have had on the state's Latino voters by making cultural connections to Cubans in the US ahead of Nov. 8 midterms. Bruce said politics was never a big deal for her Cuban Jamaican family, but through events like this, she has become more politically active. Community gatherings such as domino game nights, art workshops and community dinners create spaces for progressives to try to change the narrative that to be politically involved as a Cuban American means voting Republican and advancing conservative policies.  Leilany Bruce has attended several events organized by the Miami Freedom Project, including the dominoes tournament. She has recently become more engaged thanks in part to the cultural events she has attended through the Miami Freedom Project and other progressive organizations in Miami.  Credit: Virginia Lora/The World The Miami Freedom Project recently hosted an event with Cuban artists from the San Isidro movement, who recently fled the island after an increase in government censorship. Speaking to the group, co-founder Ana Sofia Pelaez made connections between the Communist regime and authoritarian impulses many progressives see in the American right.Some Miami progressives who worked for Democratic campaigns in 2016 and 2018 were disenchanted by the disconnect they saw between the liberal political establishment and the individuals they were trying to reach.“You can't just show up every two to four years and just assume, when you need something, that people are going to be there for you,” Pelaez said.  Ana Sofia Pelaez (in blue), founder of the Miami Freedom Project and Iris Ruiz (in black), Cuban artist and coordinator for the San Isidro movement lead an art workshop at La Esquina de Abuela, a cultural center in Miami. Cuba's Movimiento San Isidro is a group of Cuban artists, activists, journalists and academics that came together to protest against Cuba's authoritarian regime. Credit: Virginia Lora/The World She hopes that promoting civic engagement in cultural spaces will encourage community dialogues around local issues facing Miamians today, such as affordable housing and climate change — not just when there's an election on the line.  “We start with the community and identify what they need and then have that lead us to the advocacy, to the campaign, to the candidate,” she said.South Florida Republicans have been doing a version of this for a long time, and have reaped the rewards. Giancarlo Sopo is a political strategist and founder of public relations and marketing agency, Visto Media.  “These Republican national committee, these RNC community centers, in places where Hispanics can come in, they get information about an upcoming election, they can sign up to volunteer, but they also do things like host citizenship classes, teach them small business skills,” said Sopo, who led Donald Trump's National 2020 Hispanic advertising, much of which was focused in Florida. “People who come from Latin America and escaped left-wing dictatorships,, they are not going to align with the left-of-center political party. They're gonna want to align more with the conservative party.” Ana Sofia Pelaez (in blue), founder of the Miami Freedom Project and Iris Ruiz (in black), Cuban artist and coordinator for the San Isidro movement lead an art workshop at La Esquina de Abuela, a cultural center in Miami. Credit: Viriginia Lora/The World In the 2000 election, George W. Bush narrowly won Florida, thanks, in part, to the large turnout of Cuban voters. In 2004, his support among Cuban Americans was 78%. While Barack Obama made some gains with Cuban voters, in 2016 and 2020, more than half supported Donald Trump. In South Florida, the Cuban American establishment has deep roots and influence in local institutions and the media, so progressives' efforts to sway voters will likely be an uphill battle. Guillermo Grenier is professor of sociology at Florida International University who studies Cuban American ideology and immigration in Miami. Cubans are 35.6% of the population in Miami, but according to Grenier, it's more than just the numbers. Newcomers build on the foundation of the Cuban American establishment, which has had a stronghold on Miami institutions from the media to local politics since the 1980s. Grenier has been conducting FIU's Cuba Poll, a survey on Cuban American political attitudes, since 1991, and he's seen a pattern over the years. Newer immigrants and younger Cubans tend to be more liberal, but eventually, they fall in line.Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio, the country's highest-ranking Cuban American in politics, are on the ballot again. A strong majority of Cuban Americans are expected to back their reelection bids on Tuesday. Progressives hope their conversations with voters this year will be laying the foundation for future elections.Editor's note: Virginia Lora comes to us from “Feet in 2 Worlds,” a project that brings the work of immigrant reporters to public radio.

Since the pandemic, Miamians have followed the national trend of continuing to shop online for food and essentials. However, consumers everywhere are facing surging markups, service and hidden fees that put a heavy toll on convenience.  LiquorSplit presents the only liquor app that allows consumers to buy fast liquor online while saving them time and money. How? LiquorSplit is both the delivery app and the liquor store; it controls the inventory, the technology and the gig force all together in one superior model. Now, Miamians can order directly from one of the business' micro-distribution hubs or “distys” –as the company has coined them –and have it delivered to their homes cheaper than going to the liquor store.   By downloading the app, customers will be able to see the same inventory that exists in the distys and at the same price, have it delivered by a trained LiquorSplit employee and pay only a $2.99 flat delivery fee. Being a young local startup, LiquorSplit feels very strongly about giving back to the community. Hence, together with the launch of its new app the company has taken the “Every delivery makes a difference” pledge.LiquorSplit has a special offer for the Miami Guide listeners and is now offering an alluring discount of 15% OFF with the code: MIAGUIDE at checkout!  Podcast show notes available here:https://themiamiguide.com/show21Follow LiquorSplithttps://liquorsplit.com/https://www.instagram.com/liquorsplit/https://twitter.com/LiquorSplitFollow The Miami Guide:https://themiamiguide.com/

Cam Cummins is co-Founder of Pivotal Growth Partners, Owner of inHOUSE Marketing and is quite simply, a great person. We have spent quite a bit of time together on Miami University’s Entrepreneurship Board and I learn something from Cam every time I see him. Today’s conversation stretches from the art-and-science of franchising to the power of Miamians in Chicago. We also touch on taking unpaved paths, and figuring out pain points in work and using them to your advantage. He credits the late Miami professor Doc O (Bruce Olson) as an inspiration to his success. Doc O forced Cam to be better and overachieve (and he did so for many of his students in Oxford!). Finally, Skipper’s gets some great shout outs in the pod as it was the physical location in which Cam made his decision to head out to Los Angeles for work immediately after graduation.

Trailblazers. That is the word that immediately comes to mind when thinking of my next two guests, Alex and Jeanette Ruiz. This (plant) power couple have been changing the way Miamians view the vegan lifestyle for the past three years. As hosts of a top-rated local podcast, Planted in Miami, Alex and Jeanette have been inspiring and educating locals through their platform and advocacy. These guys are awesome and a big inspiration for this podcast. In today's episode we talk about a range of Miami centric topics, including what it was like “coming out” as vegan in Miami…as Latinos. Let’s just say there was a learning curve for abuela. For show notes and more on Alex and Jeanette, make sure visit: www.wakingupinthe305.com

Bright eyes. I loved that description Stacey Browning shares on this podcast. Stacey, the President of Paycor, is talking about Miamians and what sets the students apart from many others she sees in the work place. In the pod, she goes into a greater description of what that means and the uniqueness of Oxford, OH. She has been at Paycor for almost 25 years and her enthusiasm for her company comes through in the conversation. You can see why she still is there and continues to thrive every day. We spend part of the conversation talking about learning; not just for students but even for her as a corporate President. Learning is a fundamental trait in life – both professionally and personally.

With two days before the Super Bowl, I felt appropriate to get Miami alum Rick Dudley on the pod. Not only did he spend more than a decade at the NFL, he has been the CEO of Octagon, a global sports and entertainment marketing and management agency, for more than 15 years. And oh yeah, he is my boss. He references two Miamians in the pod that are very relevant to the Super Bowl too - Jim Steeg and Jon Miller. We'll get them on the pod shortly. In the below image, Rick is with Octagon's Janey Miller, John Shea and client and 4x 2016 Olympic Gymastics Gold Medalist (including the Individual All-Around) Simone Biles.

Check out my audio below where I share my vision of this new pod, Beyond High Street. Since graduating more than 20 years ago, I have always wondered what it is – what’s the commonality of all Miami students. We were willing to venture into the farmland and into the corn stalks of southwest Ohio, we left major cities to study and live in a tiny, rural community for 4 years and for some, even more. I’ll say this - whatever it is - it drives us. It’s why Miami consistently ranks in the top 5 in the country in producing Fortune 500 CEOs and CMOs and It’s why you have seen Miami names on the executive leaderboard at Instagram, twitter and other emerging global brands. The list of Entrepreneurs, business heads, community leaders, media executives and authors is endless, it even includes a former United States President and Super Bowl winning quarterback. I am going to have weekly conversations with these alum (releasing every Wednesday) and dig into their current experiences and what drove them to Miami and how Miami helped them turn that drive into tangible success. I hope you enjoy the pod and do share with all Miamians. And follow along on twitter via @BeyondHighSt. -David Schwab
