Good afternoon CFW members.
Attached are four domestic violence resolutions passed by the County Commission on
December 1st:
1. Urging Congress and the Florida Legislature to increase fines and penalties for domestic
violence crimes-prime sponsor was Commissioner Rebeca Sosa
2. Directing the County Mayor to develop and implement a marketing, outreach, and fundraising
program to raise awareness and aid in the prevention of domestic violence. Prime sponsor was
Commissioner Rebeca Sosa. Note that the resolution was amended at the County Commission
meeting to add that the Office of Community Advocacy be involved. (the CFW is under the
Office of Community Advocacy)
3. Directing the County Mayor to seek collaboration of the Miami-Dade School Board in
providing domestic violence education program to students, etc. Prime sponsor was
Commissioner Rebeca Sosa. Viviana-- perhaps you can bring this to Susie Castillo's attention.
4. Directing the County Mayor to establish a Domestic Violence Education Fund to receive
private donations in support of a County program to educate children about domestic violence,
etc. Prime sponsor is Commissioner Rebeca Sosa.

Laura, I hope that this notes finds you well albeit busy in the new year!
Thank you first off for promoting our Empower HER luncheon to Raisa. I was delighted to meet her
at our luncheon last Wednesday. We are working on a very grassroots initiative to spread the word
about the WHY of our YW’s mission and HOW we impact the women of Miami-Dade County!
Hopefully one month you will also be able to join us to hear our message.
I am also forwarding you a proposal for a Women Series that we are partnering with Gloria Roses
Romero and Ruth’s List on for the 2016 year. Eileen Maloney-Simon our CEO strongly suggested
that I reach out to you for your support and input since you are the GO TO for women’s issues in
Miami!! Thank you for your work in promoting us! If you could take a few moments to review and
reach out to me if you have any questions, I would appreciate it. We are deeming this an
opportunity to rally women together in a “friend” raising way to continue to bring to light the need to
advocate for ourselves and to bring to light the age old issues that are in our paths. I am quite
pleased about our lineup for this calendar year and hope that this is mission aligned with MDC and
can look to you for support.
Thanks again Laura, I look forward to crossing paths with you in the future!
Warm regards,
Barbara

2016 – The Year of the Woman Series Partnership
Why: It is a presidential election year and with two women vying to represent both political
parties at the top of the ticket, the frequency, intensity and duration of media coverage
presents a prime opportunity to penetrate the attention span of the millennial generation of
women to create awareness and build-will for greater civic engagement beyond the
presidential election year and thereby impact the level of engagement and turnout in local
elections where the majority of policy decisions impacting women and girls are effectuated.
• A recent Knight Foundation report (“Why Millennials Don’t Vote for Mayor”) stated
“…whereas voter turnout for presidential elections nears 60 percent, local election
turnout is often a third of that or lower. Among millennials (20- to 34-year-olds) in
urban areas, this turnout gap is even more pronounced.”
• Encouraging members of the “Rising American Electorate” (aka RAE) to both register
and turnout to vote will be critical: Members of the RAE – millennials, people of color,
and unmarried women make up 56% of Florida
o 40%: The number of eligible members of the RAE in Florida who are NOT
registered to vote.
o 35%: The estimated percent of RAE voters in Florida who voted in 2012 but did
NOT vote in 2014 (non-presidential election cycle)
How: By convening periodic gatherings around the themes of (a) women’s identity in American
society (what supports and undermines empowerment), (b) the accomplishments (and
shortfalls) of the women’s movement in America’s history, (c) the impact of empowered
women leading advocacy, activism and formulating policy at all levels (Federal, State and Local)
but especially at a local level, we aim to address two take-aways from the Knight Foundation’s
research:
• Social norms and poor understanding of local government drive opportunities for us to
connect better with millennial women: As stated in the report, “Millennials are often
missing triggers to pay attention and participate in local elections” and “they recognize
that local government should be more connected to their daily lives but do not see the
connection between local government and issues they care about.”
• By leveraging the complementary work of the partners in this series, we will increase
awareness and opportunity for millennial women to engage or enhance their advocacy
and activism in the form of education, tools, training and mobilization.
Who: Bring together a coalition of groups to work synergistically on this series of events:
FIU Women’s Center, Junior League Miami, LatinasRepresent, League of Women Voters, Miami
Dade Commission on Women, New Leaders Council, Office of the Supervisor of Elections,
Running Start, RLF Action, University of Miami Women’s Center, WMN Miami Metro Chapter of
1
the Younger Women’s Task Force, Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Women’s Fund of Miami
Dade, YWCA.
What: Host quarterly events spotlighting a different dimension of the overall themes that
establishes awareness and builds-will for engagement. In keeping with best practices in
community organizing endeavor “to meet millennial women where they’re at”. By virtue of
having a coalition of partners, millennial women will be able to participate, draw conclusions
and inspiration and then “plug-and-play” based on “where they’re at” – i.e. if they want to
register to vote or coordinate a voter registration effort at their next sorority or alumni event; if
they want to connect to lesson plans to teach their students the importance of voting; if they
want to learn how to be better advocates on issues and access advocacy training, etc. The
venue selected is “O Cinema” in Wynwood.
Q1 2016: Convene a screening of “Miss Representation” with networking and panel discussion.
Target Date: February _____ 6-9 p.m.
Miss Representation (87 min; TV-14 DL) uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail
to see. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of
women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited
and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to
achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. See
http://therepresentationproject.org/films/miss-representation/ for trailer, infographics,
statistics, lesson plans.

Q2 2016: Convene a screening of “She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry” with networking and
panel discussion.
Target Date: Wednesday, April 20, 6-9 p.m.

SHE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE’S ANGRY (92 min) is a film about activists, made to inspire women
and men to work for feminism and human
rights. http://www.shesbeautifulwhenshesangry.com/the-film/

Venue $1000.00
Assumed Screening fee: $ 350.00
Q3 2016: Convene a screening of “Ann” with networking and panel discussion of local women
elected officials talking about their journeys to public service and what they’ve accomplished
through this leadership path.
Target Date: Wednesday, August 17, 6-9 p.m. (anniversary of achieving women’s right to
vote)
All About Ann: Governor Richards of the Lone Star State ( chronicles Richards’ remarkable life,
tracing her origins as a young girl growing up poor in rural Texas, to her life as a sociable
suburban housewife and mother, to her rise from school teacher to politician. Richards was a
County Commissioner before being elected to State Treasurer, which eventually led her to the
governorship – the first woman to be elected to that office in the state of Texas.

and communications effort.

Good afternoon all.
As discussed at the CFW meeting last week, everyone is encouraged to approach their
appointing Commissioners and request that they allocate funds from their "Office Budget
Funds."
As I mentioned, at almost every County Commission meeting, Commissioners allocate/donate

funds from their Office Budget Funds to community organizations and worthy causes. Attached
is information from the County Commission meeting of January 20th showing allocations from
Chairman Monestime and Commissioners Sosa and Zapata. Some other Commissioners may
have made verbal allocations on the record too. Last year, at Viviana's request, Commissioner
Zapata gave the CFW $2000.
When the Commissioners make allocations to the CFW, we usually ask that they make it to our
501c3 organization, "Friends of the DCCFW" as opposed to our Trust Fund. For reasons that
are too long to explain here, it is just easier this way for us to access the money later on. After
the Commissioner makes the allocation at a meeting, I work with the Commissioner's staff to
complete the forms to get the money. Once you make the request and the Commissioner says
yes, I can take it from there and follow up with their staff.
Here are some bullet points to help you with the request:
1. The Commission for Women is again awarding two $1000 scholarships to two graduating
seniors from the Young Women's Preparatory Academy. The application deadline is May 1 and
we anticipate that we will award the scholarships in June.
2. The Commission for Women annually co-sponsors the In the Company of Women awards
reception in the amount of $1000. This year's event is on March 3.
3. The Commission for Women is regularly asked to co-sponsor events throughout the year and
otherwise support smaller community organizations.
4. The Commission for Women is planning to publish an updated version of the Connections
Directory of women's organizations at the end of 2016. We have not published one since 2013
and people have been asking about a new one. The last time the CFW published it in 2013, the
total cost was $2465.76 for 750 copies ($300 for the graphic design and $2165.76 for the total
cost was $2465.76 for 750 copies ($300 for the graphic design and $2165.76 for the printing). So figure
$2500 to $3000 depending on how many copies you want to print.

5. The CFW was created in 1971 so 2016 is the CFW's 45th anniversary. The CFW is planning
to have an event at the end of the year to commemorate this anniversary. It would be at this
event where the updated Connections Directory would probably be distributed. The exact
nature of the event, date, location, etc. is yet to be determined. The type and scope of the
event is to be determined, in part, by how much money the CFW can raise.
Thanks and hope this helps!

Events and Fundraising Committee Report
'
~ ' February 10, 2016
·- ---
The Events and Fundraising Committee met on February 10, 2016, at the Lotus Garden restaurant in Coral
Gables. Present were Sharon, Mara, Beverly, Viviana, Raisa, and Laura.
Sharon distributed a list of fundraising ideas that she had prepared and the committee discussed the list. The
goal is to raise $3000 to $5000.
Idea #1 is a Tea with the CFW .. Beverly said that she went to a Tea recently at the University of Miami and that
it was very nice. Idea #2 is an online silent auction.
Idea #3 is Bazaar Sale. Laura said that she had recently gone to a bazaar organized by the Key Biscayne
Women's Club. Laura also suggested a garage sale where CFW members donate items for the garage sale and
all the proceeds go to the CFW; everyone has stuff that they want to get rid of. Sharon asked about the
possibility of having a garage sale at the Curtiss Mansion in Miami Springs. Mara will find out about the
C~iss Mansion and about other possible locations in Miami Springs; Miami Springs is very garage sale
friendly and they draw good crowds.
ea #4 is a performanc y :J:wo 10 IIllS s. The two violinists are two young men from North Miami-Dade
who play beautifully and have been getting a lot of publicity recently. Their father is their agent and Beverly
will find out more information about their availability, cost, etc. There would probably be a minimum cost of
$500. \Iv~~~ U't'Y1bi°n1·ry ~Lf ~ ~-
Idea #5 is a walk-a-thon. Idea 6 is a wm tas mg Laura suggested a wine bar called Uvaggio on Miracle Mile
in Coral Gables. Idea #7 is a Four Legged Furry Fashion show. Sharon said that she went to one at the
nice basket of items. ~(.NJoO A.Oc.,•hon _JV 'i-a;;; Cf r

Radisson Mart. Idea #8 is a TV raffle. Mara suggested raffling off a spa day or something similar; or perhaps a
Sharon asked the committee members to think about other ideas too so that at the next committee meeting the
committee can· decide the top three choices. Also, the Tea and the performance by the violinists can be
combined and the wine tasting and the raffle can be combined.
Laura reminded the committee members that CFW members should be asking their appointing Commissioners
for allocations. The more money the CFW gets from the Commissioners, the less work and organizing of
events will be required. Beverly said that she had spoken to Commissioner Edmonson's staff to request a
donation and Laura will follow up. Laura reported that Chairman Monestime had agreed to allocate $500.
The Committee then discussed the scholarships for the two seniors from the Young Women's Preparatory
Academy (YWP A). The application period is March 15 to May 1 and the scholarships will be presented at a
County Commission meeting on either June 7th or June 21st . After further checking by Viviana, it was
determined that the YWPA graduation ceremony is on June 7th so the scholarships will be presented at the June
21 st County Commission meeting, assuming the CFW gets permission from the Chairman of the County
Commission. Laura will add a line to the scholarship application indicating the June 21st tentative award date.
After the Committee members checked their calendars, the next Committee meeting was set fo Wedn.e da ,

Subject: Paid Parental Leave for All County Employees
Dear Miami-Dade County employee,
Yesterday, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners took a big step towards
fighting gender based wage inequality and promoting healthy families with the passage of an
ordinance sponsored by Commissioner Juan C. Zapata that guarantees paid parental leave
for County employees. The leave would be available to all parents regardless of gender and
would make it easier for the County to attract and retain employees while mitigating gender
wage disparities. Up to six weeks of leave would be provided, taken at any time during the
first year after the event, with a portion of the annual salary compensated and the employee
having the option to use accrued leave to ensure compensation of 100 percent of base pay
for the entire period.
The benefits of paid parental leave extend beyond positive financial outcomes for County
employees and include broader, non-monetary benefits to the entire community. Through this
ordinance, Miami-Dade County joins a small yet growing group of municipalities across the
Country that are working to ensure that no one ever has to decide between caring for their
children or losing their income.
Should you have any questions, please refer them to Zapata@miamidade.gov.
Best regards,
Stephanie Figueroa

MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL SENT BACK TO COMMITTEE

With more than two-dozen amendments stacked up on the bill Wednesday, Senate President Andy
Gardiner yanked a medical marijuana measure off the floor and sent it back to a committee for another
vetting. The bill (SB 460) would add medical marijuana to a list of experimental treatments available to
terminally ill patients. Sen. Rob Bradley, the bill's sponsor, proposed a wide-ranging amendment on
Tuesday that would expand the measure to address problems in getting low-THC marijuana ---
authorized by the Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott nearly two years ago --- off the ground. "I think the
president would like a committee to sort through the concerns that are contained in those amendments
so that, when it reaches the floor, it's in a posture that is where the cake has been baked, so to speak,"
Bradley, R-Fleming Island, said in an interview Wednesday afternoon. Under the 2014 law, doctors were
https://outlook.office.com/mail/id/AAQkADIzNTA5Y2M3LTg0OWMtNGJhYi1hNjI3LWE1Y2IzMTUxM2Q2ZgAQANpy3MBBe03sv2F9gH%2Bx18U%3D Page 1 of 3
Bradley, R-Fleming Island, said in an interview Wednesday afternoon. Under the 2014 law, doctors were
supposed to be able to start ordering non-euphoric marijuana in January 2015. But legal challenges have
delayed implementation of the law. Last fall, health officials selected five nurseries to be the state's first
"dispensing organizations" to grow, process and dispense the low-THC cannabis products, prompting
more than a dozen challenges by losing applicants. Hearings in the administrative cases are slated to run
through August. Bradley's amendment, which mirrors a House proposal, would allow the five winning
applicants to continue as dispensing organizations and would allow the winners of any court or
administrative challenges to also have dispensing organization licenses. But a variety of other
amendments, filed Tuesday and Wednesday, raised questions about who in the highly competitive
marijuana industry would benefit --- or be harmed --- by the changes. "The intention of the legislation is to
have the five prevailing dispensing organizations to be able to move forward and get their product to
market --- now. The legislation will also provide that if a losing organization successfully establishes, by a
court of law or an administrative judge, that they were entitled to a license, they will also get a license,"
Bradley said. "That is the intention of the legislation. Any amendments that carve out special rules for one
particular vendor or another are not amendments that I would support, and I'm not the only member of the
caucus that feels that way." The bill is slated to be heard by the Rules Committee on Monday.
LAWMAKERS ADDRESS 'HORRORS' OF REFORM SCHOOL

Recognizing what bill sponsor Arthenia Joyner described as the "horrors of the past,'' the Senate on
Wednesday approved a bill that would help families of children who died at the shuttered Arthur G. Dozier
School for Boys in Northwest Florida. The bill (SB 708) would lead to the state providing reimbursements
of $7,500 to families who reinter the remains of children found at the former reform-school site in Jackson
County. The Dozier issue has become high-profile in recent years amid allegations that boys were abused
at the school. University of South Florida researchers conducted excavation work and discovered
unmarked graves. The bill sponsored by Joyner, D-Tampa, was approved unanimously Wednesday and
now goes to the House. Sen. Don Gaetz, a Niceville Republican who represents Jackson County,
expressed concerns about future use of the Dozier property. He said the site includes 1,300 acres, with
only about 10 percent used for the school. While he said the community wants to make sure a memorial is
placed on the site and the graves are handled properly, other state-owned land
"should not lie fallow." Joyner said Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet will make decisions about the
property.
COMPUTER CODING PLAN GETS SENATE OK

If Florida senators get their way, more high-school students could become fluent in computer coding. The
Senate on Wednesday easily approved a bill (SB 468), sponsored by Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Margate, that
would allow high-school students to take computer-coding courses to satisfy two credits of foreign-
language requirements. The bill, which now goes to the House, would take effect with the 2018-19 school
year. The issue has drawn heavy debate that has included weighing issues of technological change and
the merits of traditional foreign languages. Ring is a former Yahoo executive. "This is very forward-looking
legislation,'' Sen. Garrett Richter, R-Naples, said. But Sen. Bill Montford, a Tallahassee Democrat and
former Leon County superintendent of schools, expressed concerns that traditional foreign languages will
suffer if computer coding is added as an option. "At some point, we have to address the number of hours
that students go to school and/or the number of days," said Montford, who nevertheless voted for the bill.
Senators voted 35-5 for the measure, with opposition from Sen. Dwight Bullard, D-Miami; Sen. Jeff
Clemens, D-Lake Worth; Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami; Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood; and Sen.
Geraldine Thompson, D-Orlando.
UNANIMOUS SENATE SIGNS OFF ON 'RAPE KIT' BILL

Sending the issue to the House, the Florida Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved a bill that would
set time frames for testing DNA evidence in suspected sexual-assault cases. The bill (SB 636),
https://outlook.office.com/mail/id/AAQkADIzNTA5Y2M3LTg0OWMtNGJhYi1hNjI3LWE1Y2IzMTUxM2Q2ZgAQANpy3MBBe03sv2F9gH%2Bx18U%3D Page 2 of 3
4/2/24, 10:58 PM
sponsored by Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, came after reports last year that Florida has a
backlog of thousands of untested "rape kits." Benacquisto's bill, in part, would require law-enforcement
agencies to submit rape kits for testing within 30 days of receiving the evidence. Testing would be
required within 120 days of the submission of the kits. The House version (HB 179), sponsored by Rep.
Janet Adkins, R-Fernandina Beach, has made it through committees, readying the issue to go to the full
House. If the House takes up and passes Benacquisto's bill, the measure would then go to Gov. Rick
Scott.
SENATE APPROVES NEEDLE EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The Florida Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a proposal that would create a needle-
exchange pilot program in Miami-Dade County. The legislation (SB 242) comes as Florida leads the
nation in newly diagnosed HIV cases, while Miami-Dade and Broward counties are the top two counties
in the country for new HIV cases. The measure, approved by a 37-2 vote, would allow the University of
Miami to establish a privately funded program aimed at preventing the spread of diseases by intravenous
drug users. The five-year pilot program would allow drug users to exchange dirty needles and syringes
for clean needles and syringes. Sen. Oscar Braynon, D-Miami Gardens, has tried for two years to get the
pilot program off the ground. A companion measure (HB 81), sponsored by Rep. Katie Edwards, D-
Plantation, is ready for a House floor vote.
HOUSE APPROVES BOATER SAFETY DISCOUNTS

The House unanimously backed a measure Wednesday that would provide annual vessel-registration fee
discounts for boaters. The bill (HB 427), sponsored by Rep. MaryLynn Magar, R-Tequesta, would provide
discounts of about 25 percent for boaters who have purchased and registered emergency locator
devices. Magar and Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart, introduced the proposal after Austin Stephanos and
Perry Cohen, two 14-year-olds from Tequesta, went missing in July after steering a 19-foot boat out of
the Jupiter Inlet into the Atlantic Ocean. State economists have projected the discount would save
boaters $250,000 next year. Under the proposal, the discount would be given to anyone who has or buys
an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) device. The devices cost between $200 and
$1,500, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. To be activated, a device must be registered with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Senate companion (SB 746) awaits an
Appropriations Committee hearing.
