About
Founded in 2012 by a volunteer group of local activists as a non-profit grassroots organization, Miami Beach United was born of a desire to improve the quality of life for Miami Beach residents. We are still 100% volunteer-run, and we welcome residents from all parts of Miami Beach to become involved.
To provide Miami Beach residents with a cohesive voice for city-wide issues that impact their quality of life. To serve as a bridge, closing the communication gap between local government and resident issues. To raise awareness of and enhance resident participation in the decision-making process.
Miami Beach United and the City introduced the Residents Right to Know ordinance in 2017 to boost transparency and resident involvement in local government. This ensures residents are informed about City projects, can give feedback, and participate in decisions impacting their quality of life.
