Congressional candidate Omari Hardy is standing by his positions supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and opposition to supplemental funding for Israel's iron dome missile-defense system. The Florida Democratic Party Jewish Caucus said it opposes his election "because of his positions on these fundamental issues.” And U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, first Jewish woman from Florida elected to the U.S. House, repudiated Hardy’s positions (though she avoided mentioning Hardy's name.)

Congressional candidate Omari Hardy stepped into a political minefield three weeks before voters decide who will become South Florida's next member of Congress. He says he supports the controversial Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement aimed at pressuring Israel over its policies toward the Palestinians. And he said he opposed an extra $1 billion in supplemental U.S. funding for Israel's iron dome missile defense system. The 20th Congressional District has a "sizeable minority" of Jewish voters.

Damon Weaver gained national attention when he interviewed Obama at age 11, becoming one of the youngest people to interview a sitting president.

State Rep. Omari Hardy, the young progressive serving his first term in the Florida Legislature, is running for Congress to fill the vacancy left by the death of Alcee Hastings. "Fighting for housing as a right, basic income as a right, health care as a right, the Green New Deal and racial justice isn’t imitating A.O.C., it’s responding to what I see, and honoring the legacy of Alcee.”

South Florida jail inmates have started to receive COVID-19 shots, but access varies widely throughout Florida's jails.

Hardy said Wednesday he learned that an “unwritten directive” from the state not to vaccinate incarcerated people has blocked local efforts. He referred to that unwritten policy as an example of “backroom vaccine politics,” where life-and-death decisions are being made behind closed doors with no transparency and accountability.

“I’m disappointed that the county has chosen to wag its finger at Mar-a Lago, rather than do something about the fact that they violated our mask order and endangered the health and welfare of Palm Beach County residents,” Hardy said. " When I think about the range of risky and reckless behaviors that a person can engage in during this pandemic, the behavior at Mar-a-Lago stands out.”

She retired in July 2010, hours before surrendering at the county jail on five felony counts of receiving unlawful compensation. Prosecutors accused her of voting in favor of grants that her husband wrote for the town of Southwest Ranches — votes that resulted in him receiving $45,000 in bonuses. The prosecution accused her of violating laws that require elected officials to abstain from voting on matters that pose a conflict of interest or might give them or family members a special benefit.

In electronic media, 12 percent of broadcast journalists are black, similar to the national population figure of 13 percent. It's not only insulting to me, but to black journalists around the country.A failure to include journalists of many different backgrounds means missing stories. Hardy, who just left a job in Greenville, S.C., said that without black journalists there, stories about gentrified neighborhoods would have gone untold. The sweep of national protests following the death of George Floyd has news leaders talking to their staffs about how the story affects them. An internal outcry over the essay wasn't apparent until a number of black journalists tweeted that Cotton's argument in favor of using federal troops to quell violence made them feel unsafe, and others throughout the newsroom supported them.

There are currently more than 200 active fires in Alaska, so the Women's Fire Crew headed off to The Last Frontier. The crew will be in the Upper Yukon of the state for the next 14 days, helping to fight the Hadweenzic River Fire. "I was going into the season a little nervous but ended up tackling challenges and am excited to overcome the unknown in Alaska," Hardy said on Facebook. Right now the need is in Alaska, so the Women's Fire Crew and others have headed up there to help. Jarden, Formiller, Descamps and Hardy are joined by fellow crew members Alex Perez, Patty Derner, Leah Katz and Hannah Zamorski.
