🗳️ ONE WEEK AWAY! YOUR VOICE. YOUR VOTE. YOUR FUTURE.
South Florida, the countdown is on! ⏳
In just 7 DAYS, the Judicial Diversity Initiative (JDI), in collaboration with Mayor Wayne Messam, will host our 2026 General Election Candidate Forum — and we want YOU in the room!
Elections shape our courts, our communities, and our future. But making an informed choice starts with knowing who’s asking for your vote.
This is your opportunity to move beyond campaign ads, social media sound bites, and political rhetoric to hear directly from candidates, understand their perspectives, and learn where they stand on issues that matter to you and your community.
📅 Tuesday, October 20, 2026
🚪 Doors Open: 6:00 PM
🎤 Program Begins: 6:30 PM
📍 Miramar Cultural Center Theater
2400 Civic Center Place, Miramar, FL 33025
✨ WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Because your presence and participation matter. Your vote is more than a checkmark on a ballot. It’s your opportunity to help shape the leadership, policies, and institutions that impact your everyday life.
🔦 JDI PILLAR SPOTLIGHT: INFORM + ILLUMINATE
📚 INFORM: Empowering voters through civic education, greater understanding of our judicial and electoral systems, and access to meaningful information about the candidates and issues on the ballot.
✨ ILLUMINATE: Shining a light on those seeking judicial and public office, creating opportunities for communities to engage with prospective leaders and better understand their qualifications, perspectives, and commitment to public service.
As a nonpartisan organization, JDI does not endorse candidates. We believe voters deserve the opportunity to hear from those seeking to represent and serve them, ask meaningful questions, and make informed decisions for themselves.
🤝 We are grateful to our member organizations, the City of Miramar, Equal Ground, and our community partners for helping make this important civic engagement opportunity possible.
