We are the Wimauma Mamas (and papa!), here to talk to you about what matters most right here in Florida and the South Shore Area. We take a small look at big problems. We are all the same. We all want clean drinking water, safe foods free of pesticides, and good schools for our children. Roads that we could travel on would be a bonus, too! We want to empower you to take action on the issues that impact us all. A lot of it involves letting our representatives know that they should make these issues a priority. The mamas (and papa!) will help you get the answers that you need. On our debut episode, here's what we talk about: Wimauma Mamas: who are we?News in Florida: Medicaid and a cutback that might knock Florida's healthcare ranking from 48th in the nation to 50th. Spoiler alert: it involves dumb decisions by our state legislatureHillsborough County Closeuo: A case study on when activism works right here in Wimauma and the South Shore area. One of the recurring themes in our podcast is how the South Shore area does not get the representation it needs. Emergency vehicles use the Opticon system to change the traffic lights from red to green. This helps the flow of traffic and it could help save your life or the life of a loved one. However, SR 674 does not have the device! What can we do to change this? Around the World/Nation: The unspoken crises in the U.S. and around the worldWhat's a Wimauma?Why our traffic is the monstrosity that it isAn interview with Andrew Davis, a former candidate for Hillsborough County Commissioner, about how we can fix the monstrosity that is our traffic. We always hear about why local issues matter but we never really follow through on it. Our apathy is what allows our local politicians to make the decisions that they do. We cannot accept this any longer. Our hope is that when we present you with this information, you are motivated to contact our representatives to make sure that we see some change. We live in a representative democracy and we must make sure that we are represented.
