While petitions are generally seen as ineffective and toothless. There is power in displays of solidarity and the spreading of information.
Whatever your political bias, "Alligator Alcatraz" presents a very real environmental threat and will likely lead to restrictions on who can access long standing public lands. Personally, I'm worried that this is just the beginning a drawn out, wasteful project. One that may result in the construction of many facilities, both state sponsored and private. Not to mention the fact that this detention facility places Florida smack in the middle of US political discourse and potentially international human rights discourse down the road.
I think we've all dealt with enough BS. Please spread the word🐊
