The Miami-Dade Democrats’ Blue Gala is next week. Ahead of the festivities, the party shared its featured speakers and award honorees.
Atop the list as keynote speaker is U.S. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a nearly 45-year political veteran who since 2010 has held the seat President Joe Biden once occupied in Congress’ upper chamber.
Also speaking: gun control advocate David Hogg, civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump and former U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
Crump will also receive the party’s “Champion for Change” award alongside U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost and community organizers Venusmia Fernandez Lopez and Maca Iglesias.
