NO DERRUMBES
LA IGLESIA

We are a resident-led movement that gives the people of Brickell a direct voice in the decisions shaping their neighborhood.

We want Brickell to grow. We also believe the people who live here should have a say in how that happens. Progress and preservation are not opposites.

What we care about:

 

  • The historic places that tell the story of where Miami came from

  • The parks and open spaces that give the neighborhood room to breathe

  • Streets and infrastructure that can carry what is being built

  • The schools and institutions that anchor the community

  • A fair, open process where the people most directly affected are heard on the record

BREAKING

Court Sets Aside City Approvals at First Miami Presbyterian

On July 16, 2026, an appellate court quashed the City of Miami's approval of an application to remove the church's educational building and parking lot from historic protection.

The Court also quashed the City's refusal to let the neighboring community take part in that decision.

The matter now returns to the City.

PRIORIZAR A LAS PERSONAS SOBRE LAS GANANCIAS

Instamos a nuestros comisionados municipales a priorizar la preservación de nuestros espacios históricos y verdes, vitales para la identidad de Brickell, por encima del desarrollo descontrolado.

Los promotores inmobiliarios presionan a nuestros líderes religiosos con el pretexto de buscar el interés comunitario. Su verdadera intención es borrar la historia de Miami, eliminar las zonas verdes y la vegetación arbórea, y lucrarse con proyectos de alta densidad de población mientras se lucran en otros ámbitos.

What We're Working On:

First Miami Presbyterian Church, 609 Brickell Avenue

 

The City approved removing historic protection from the church's School Annex and parking lot without allowing the neighboring community to participate.

 

On July 16, 2026, an appellate court set those approvals aside. The matter has returned to the City, where the neighboring community now has the right to be heard.
