Why this petition matters

Started by Save Wynwood

Recently, certain officials in Miami, under pressure and coercion from real estate developers, have taken steps to remove Wynwood’s status as an Arts & Entertainment district. Their goal is to use the momentum of this trendy neighborhood to build large luxury residential buildings and make millions in profit.

               As a result, they have taken aim at things that they think “cheapen” the neighborhood, like public art, open marketplaces, events that are free and open to the public, cultural celebrations, and nightlife. They believe that money outweighs cultural authenticity and that only the wealthy should enjoy the thriving community that Wynwood has become. Their first step has been to take aim at the various nightlife establishments and event spaces that made Wynwood popular in the first place.

Their current effort is to force virtually all nightclubs and events in Wynwood to close at 11pm. Their goal is for only venues with certain permits, built into luxury developments, to be able to operate late into the night.

We refuse to allow Wynwood to suffer the same fate as many other neighborhoods in Miami, where only the wealthy are allowed to exist.  We refuse to allow billionaire developers to gentrify yet another area of Miami by buying the cooperation of city officials, police, and administrators.

Fight back!! #SaveWynwood!

=====================

Recientemente, ciertos oficiales en Miami, bajo presión y coerción de parte de promotores inmobiliarios, han tomado pasos para remover el estatus de Wynwood como distrito de Arte y Entretenimiento. Su meta es usar el monumento de este vecindario de moda para construir grandes edificios de lujo residenciales y hacer millones de ganancias.

                Como resultado, han apuntado a las cosas que ellos creen “devalúan” el vecindario, como arte urbano, mercados abiertos, eventos que son gratis y abiertos al público, celebración cultural y vida nocturna. Ellos creen que el dinero supera la autenticidad y que solo ricos deberían disfrutar la prospera comunidad en la que Wynwood se ha convertido. Su primer paso ha sido tomar varios establecimientos nocturnos y espacios de eventos que hacen que Wynwood sea popular en primer lugar.

El esfuerzo actual es forzar virtualmente todos los clubes nocturnos y eventos en Wynwood a cerrar a las 11pm. Su meta es solo para los lugares de encuentro con ciertos permisos, construidos en desarrollos lujosos, para ser capaz de operar hasta tarde en la noche.

Nosotros nos rehusamos a permitir que Wynwood sufra el mismo destino que muchos otros vecindarios en Miami, donde solo la riqueza tiene permitido existir. Nos rehusamos a permitir desarrolladores multimillonarios gentrifiquen otra área mas de Miami comprando la cooperación de oficiales de la ciudad, policía y administradores.
