The Awake Pinellas Coalition conducted a well attended meeting entitled “Preparing For Trump” at the Main Branch of the St. Petersburg, Florida Library on the evening of Tuesday, 22 November, 2016. There were 114 people attending and these following organizations participated:
Service Employees International Union, Dream Defenders, American Civil Liberties Union, Council of American Islamic Relations, Food and Water Watch, Planned Parenthood, Fight for $15, American Promise, West Pinellas National Organization for Women, League Of Women Voters and the Sierra Club.
The meeting started with a brief overview of the Awake Pinellas process for this meeting, lead by Fight For $15 organizer Kofi Hunt. Then the group split into small groups to focus on specific issues with specific organizations. Finally the small groups reconvened into the large group and verbal reports were addressed to the group with individual announcements closing the event.
There was a lot of energy generated and a lot of animated conversation happened during and after this meeting. The theme “preparing for Trump” has engaged local citizens and their local organizations with a concern and urgency that has not materialized at this level in recent months or years, certainly not in the months before the recently completed General Election 2016. But now it is the post- election period with a political landscape that has changed a lot with the reality of a President- Elect Donald Trump. People that are politically center- left have been very surprised with the result of the Presidential election and have reacted with alarm at the election of Donald Trump and what will happen with a Donald Trump administration.
There is concern with what will be unleashed on January 20th, 2017 when a President that many people consider manifestly unfit and unqualified for office will take office as President with no experience in government whatsoever. Citizens, be it as individuals or organized into groups, are dismayed at the 700 plus hate incidents since the general election was conducted that have been documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center (https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/11/18/update-incidents-hateful-harassment-election-day-now-number-701).
Just four days ago, on Saturday 19 November, 2016, there was the meeting at the Ronald Reagan building (yes, the Ronald Reagan building) in Washington D. C. by the White nationalist National Policy Institute where Richard Spencer spoke to the assembled attendees. This resulted in a a loud “hail Trump” chant being shouted in the room that was disturbingly similar to the “Heil Hitler” mass chants of the Nazi era in 1930’s and 1940’s Germany with many people in the room actually imitating the Nazi salute as well. The subjects discussed by Spencer include the superiority of the White race and reportedly anti- Jewish rhetoric as well. This garnered national media attention. Reports document increased incidents of bullying in schools since the general election. https://www.democracynow.org/shows/2016/11/23
With this changed political atmosphere in the last two weeks, there is a lot of motivation to resist what is perceived by many citizens as a tolerance of and an increase in racism, sexism, misogyny, discrimination, Fascism and corruption. After the Thanksgiving break, the coming weeks will be sprinkled with multiple meetings by multiple organizations addressing a range of issues with individual action plans.
Directly after this meeting, a meeting was conducted by the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Tampa Bay in another location. Today, there is a “Not Now, Not Ever March Against Trump” in Tampa at Gaslight Park.
Tuesday, 29 November will see an event by Fight For $15 in Tampa, Florida billed as a “National Day Of Disruption” (https://www.facebook.com/events/210983786011459/) with at least two other events ranging from a peace rally to an anti- Trump demonstration scheduled for the same day. In December there will be multiple events.
On Spectrum 360 in this edition for Mon. 21 Nov. ‘16:
The focus of this program is the environment as it relates to water and water quality.
Join host Mark Skogman and co- host T. K. Weeks for the interview with Scott Smith, Chief Investigator with Mark Ruffalo’s Water Defense organization, who recently spoke at the 2016 Florida Fracking Summit. We’ll discuss his water testing work all across the country and his recent water testing in Florida related to the Mosaic fertilizer plant water leak in Mulberry, FL! This is a Spectrum 360 exclusive! Also, this week on S. 360, the Jim Hightower Commentary, The News Summary, Future Events Calendar and we may have another interesting interview related to the No D. A. P. L. demonstrations at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation And if we have time, we’ll include a review of the film “Hacksaw Ridge”. Another packed Spectrum 360 radio program! Listen! Happy Thanksgiving!
more coverage of the environment from the Florida Fracking Summit and the Sacred Water water protectors camp near Branford, FL as we change major focus from the General Election 2016 to the environment, more film reviews and possibly some surprises.

At 8:00PM on the nite of Wensday, the 5th of November 2016, just four days ago, the wonderful musician Bonnie Raitt played her latest concert at the beautiful Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL. Members of the Spectrum 360 Media staff were there! The concert was excellent, as usual. However, the event started with what is now standard security procedure at Ruth Eckerd Hall and the Capitol Theater. That is, airport style security where you have to take everything out of your pockets, put it on a tray and then get wanded by security just to get entry to the building. So tedious. After that, there was a stern warning from the female security guard who was wanding attendees that there was to be no still or video photography at all during the concert and if you were caught violating the rule, you would be forced to leave the concert immediately. How is that for an audience friendly venue? Wonderful! Not! A Tweet friendly environment it isn’t.
The interesting thing was that close to the end of the concert, Bonnie Raitt herself said from the stage that the audience had been “very good” about not doing still or video photography and that it was now “ok with me” if the audience did do still and video photography. Immediately, hundreds of people took out their devices and started to photograph and record and you could see many, many glowing screens all over the hall! Wow! What an about face from the greeting at the entrance to the hall.
Bonnie Raitt is of course known for her political activism and has a many decades long history of supporting Progressive causes, especially as it relates to the environment and environmental issues. She has done a long list of benefit concerts to raise money for organizations and individuals active on these and other issues. These facts are some of the things that endears Bonnie to her fans. Check out her website http://www.bonnieraitt.com for more information.
One of the things that she has been doing at her concerts is supporting the Guacamole Fund (www.guacfund.org) with proceeds from a select number of seats going to provide money to the Fund. Also, some organizations are allowed to table at her concerts, supporting progressive causes and actions.
She usually does make political comments from the stage and observations about the state of the country and other topics. So it came as no surprise, when she made some comments about the organizations that were present for tabling at her concert. She announced from the stage that the Southern Alliance For Clean Energy ( http://www.cleanenergy.org ) and Food And Water Watch ( http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org ) were present at the concert and she recognized both organizations.
This was followed by big applause for the organizations and then she said this: “I’ve been checking out what’s going on here in Florida and I’m really, really glad to see that solar energy and wind are making head way. In case your confused about One….. I understand One is on the ballot. Vote no on Amendment One. [Huge applause] In the state of California where I live, we’ve got all we need in a safe and healthy way and lots of jobs.”
Amendment One, currently on the General Election ballot in the state of Florida, is the deceptively worded amendment that appears to support solar power but does not and is supported by the electric power utilities in Florida.
You have got to love the one and only….. Bonnie Raitt!
