Dear Friends,
It’s with different feelings I write to let you know our family has moved to Los Angeles, California to be closer to our two older children, John and Lauren, working in LA and to get our youngest child, Olivia, in college in Santa Monica where she hopes to follow her siblings in entertainment.
I am so heartened about the work I have been associated with in Florida and look forward to continuing the relationship with many of you. I apologize to so many of you that I was not personally able to say “Goodbye”. I treasure the many relationships I have had across the state over the past 20 years, and I will miss you and Florida’s crazy politics. We learned so much, and while the struggle for justice and equity for communities of color in Florida is daunting, collaborative leadership is growing and change is coming! Thank you for the education you have given me.
To my new friends in SoCal, thank you for your hospitality and encouragement! I am excited about reaching out to meet the incredible advocacy community here and learning about your successes. I plan to spend the next couple of months understanding the landscape and see where I might fit in.
Whether in Florida or California, our country and communities are still impacted by this country’s racial narrative of injustice of poor people and people of color. I am sad it is so difficult to move the needle. For all of you who know me, let’s keep organizing, empowering our people, and disrupting the status quo! Don’t give up! Peter
