Secure the Future of Holocaust Education: Miami Beach Residents, Vote Yes on Referendum

If you are a resident of Miami Beach, the Jewish community needs your vote to help secure the future of Holocaust education. Whether you are heading to the polls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, or plan to cast your ballot early, please vote YES ON REFERENDUM 1, Amending the Lease of City Property: Holocaust Memorial Site. Your yes vote will ensure the future of Holocaust education for the next generation at no cost to taxpayers.
