๐Ÿ’š Today, we joinedChamber SOUTHH to launch the Neuroinclusion Task Force during National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

Our panel focused on how South Dade businesses can take practical steps toward neuroinclusive hiring through employer training, workplace resources, and stronger partnerships with local government.

Thank you to our municipal and our ChamberSOUTH partners for helping build this regional coalition. ๐Ÿค

The goal is fewer barriers, more employment opportunities, and greater independence for neurodivergent adults.

Congratulations to Cesar L. Alvarez on receiving the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Sand in My Shoesยฎ๏ธ Award, Miamiโ€™s highest honor for community leadership.

Cesar came to Miami from Cuba as a teenager and helped build Greenberg Traurig into a global firm, putting our city on the world stage. Through United Way, Frost Science, Miami Dade College and so much more, he has helped build institutions that will serve our community for generations.

One chapter of his story is especially close to my heart. Cesar was the attorney who guided the purchase of Radio Mambรญ, along with the talent who made it the voice of so many in our community. That station holds a special place in my life, and Cesar helped make its story possible.

Congratulations, Cesar. Miami is better because you chose to call it home.

The goal isnโ€™t just more trails. Itโ€™s a safer, connected network that works for everyone.

๐Ÿ’ผ Employment is about more than a paycheck. Itโ€™s about independence.

Through job training, coaching, and employer partnerships, theyโ€™re removing barriers and creating real opportunities.

๐Ÿ‘ Meaningful inclusion requires access, training, and long-term support.

Todayโ€™s transit vote included several important changes I pushed for to protect riders and make the system more accountable.

๐Ÿš† The County will move to develop a plan for a $1 Metromover fare, including collection costs.

๐ŸšŒ The new revenue will help protect late-night bus service and routes that were facing cuts.

๐Ÿ’› Free and subsidized fares remain in place for qualifying students, seniors and veterans.

If riders are being asked to pay more, County government also has a responsibility to find savings, review subsidies and make sure every part of the transit system contributes.
