#UniteMiami

On Thursday, April 16th, Miami Community launched an Instagram series called, #UniteMiami. During COVID-19, all of our lives where changed, forever. The pandemic forced us to be quarantined and as a Miami Community team, we had to step back and see what role we can play in the new “normal”. We decided to use our social media platform for the purpose to unite our community during the demands of social distancing. #UniteMiami is a series hosted by Miami Community. Highlighting: Miami Heroes and Local Social Issues.

For the past few weeks, we have had the honor to highlight Child Abuse Prevention, Food Deserts during COVID-19, The need for Foster Parents in Miami-Dade County, The Rise of Domestic Violence during COVID-19, Mental Health Awareness, Latinos Role Against Racism and Gun Violence in our Community. Along with a community initiative called, “10 Days of Connection” and a special coverage of a protest organized by the Dream Defenders of Miami.
