"This State Is on the Front Lines": Floridians Mobilize Against Sabal Trail Natural Gas Pipeline

"Tim Canova is a law professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale and chair of Progress For All, a community action group in Hollywood, Florida. HE WILL BE SPEAKING TUESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 13 - 7PM AT THE GALIMORE CENTER.  He is nationally known for taking on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the former head of the Democratic National Committee, in the 2016 Florida primary, losing in November by only 6,000 votes. He's leading the political fight against the Sabal Trail pipeline and is angry that Sabal Trail was given authority by the federal government to use eminent domain to build the pipeline."
