Upcoming Events
Come out and meet Bernard. Every event is a chance to connect, ask questions, and get involved.
On Wednesday August 12, the Florida Alliance Of Retired Americans will join the regular Treasure Coast Indivisible rally at Brian Mast’s Stuart office to present him with their Zero Award. Every year at this time FARA presents Hero awards to Democrats for their support of Social Security and Medicare. This year they will give a Zero Award to our congressman who always fails to protect his constituents. This is a peaceful rally.
Join Third Act Florida and Third Act Union as we speak with Bernard Taylor and James Martin, running for Congress in Florida’s 21st District.
