David Lawrence Jr. honored by South Florida immigrant rights community
Former Miami Herald publisher David Lawrence Jr., a longtime advocate for children, families and immigrants, was honored Saturday night by South Florida’s immigrant rights community. Lawrence became the first recipient of the Guardian of Justice Award during the Americans for Immigrant Justice’s 30th anniversary gala in Miami. The award, which will now bear his name, recognizes his decades of commitment to social justice. In accepting the award, Lawrence reflected on lessons from his childhood, the personal challenges his family has endured over the last year-and-a-half and his growing concerns about the direction of the country, particularly its treatment of immigrants. Quoting New York Times columnist David Brooks, Lawrence said America needs “an uprising of decency,” and called for greater compassion toward immigrants. Many of them, he added, work hard, care deeply about freedom and contribute to their communities. “Ours is a community where more than half of us are first-generation immigrants,” Lawrence said. “It’s the highest percentage of any urban area in the United States of America. And I wonder, and I worry, why do not more of us in this immigrant community speak up about the wrongs being done to so many other families?” An avid reader, Lawrence pointed

Miami elections chief's partisan statement undermines public trust in her office | Letters
Eroding confidence Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia has apparently forgotten a fundamental principle of democracy: election officials count votes. They don’t declare winners before the process is complete. “María Elvira is the winner, with or without a recount,” Garcia proclaimed as U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar held a razor-thin lead over Democrat Eliott Rodriguez. With or without a recount? That extraordinary declaration came while ballots remained unresolved and a legally mandated recount loomed. Garcia is not a political pundit or campaign surrogate. She is the official entrusted with administering an impartial election. Her responsibility is to safeguard the process, not prejudge its outcome. Perhaps Salazar will ultimately prevail. That is beside the point. When an election supervisor publicly declares a winner before the process concludes, they create an appearance of bias that undermines confidence in the institution they represent. Rodriguez’s request for her recusal is therefore understandable, regardless of whether actual misconduct occurred. Democracy demands more than accurate vote totals. It demands public confidence that every ballot receives fair consideration. Garcia’s reckless pronouncement compromised that confidence. Miami-Dade deserves an election supervisor who understands the difference between administering democracy and announcing its results. The voters decide. Not Alina Garcia. Manny
