MARCH 2: Call to Action for Economic Justice!
Tell Rubio and Nelson to Vote NO for Ben Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development! THE VOTE IS TODAY!!!
Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon with "no government experience" (according to his own spokesman Armstrong Williams), is an irresponsible and dangerous choice to run the crucial Department of Housing and Urban Development. Our nation faces an unprecidented affordable housing crisis. Over 500,000 Americans are homeless, a quarter of which are children. We need a HUD Director who understands the complexities and skills needed to manage our country's housing needs and enforce fair housing laws- NOT a political lap dog of the President who refuses to even promise that HUD money won't end up in the pockets of Donald Trump's businesses. (http://www.cnbc.com/…/hud-nominee-dr-ben-carson-refuses-to-…)
At Women's March Florida, we advocate for each individual to have an equal chance at a dignified, productive, and creative life beyond economics, which includes the right to access to fair and affordable housing. We must make our voices heard against Ben Carson as HUD Director.
TELL RUBIO AND NELSON: Access to fair and affordable housing is too important to Americans to trust to a man with no experience and a shaky grip on what constitutes a conflict of interest! 
STEP ONE: Call Marco Rubio and strongly urge him to vote NO on Carson as HUD Director.

I feel it is important Senator Rubio vote NO on Ben Carson because of his lack of experience in running anything like this crucial agency.
