🧵 Florida is not a lost cause. 🧵

There’s huge potential for 2022, 2024 and beyond.

If we get to work now we could help millions of Floridians over the next decade but we have to believe it’s possible, have the right leaders and the right plan.

Florida will be disproportionately impacted by climate change and the communities with the least resources will be the most impacted.

We need to get to work now to fight for Floridians- not lobbyists, and create an accessible political system to help those who need it most.

We do not have a choice, if Florida is to have a future above water we must get to work now.

Florida faces rampant voter suppression, gun violence, environmental injustice, serious and purposeful issues with our welfare system (thanks to Rick Scott). All of which play into a cycle of injustice in Florida that’s been there for centuries.

Our generations must continue the work of those who’ve come before us and fight to create a more just and democratic sunshine republic. I guarantee you, if we do that, if we build a politics of justice and hope for everyday people with results- we will win.

As Florida goes so goes the country, power is built over decades from the ground up. We need a lot more people running for city council and state government that practice the above philosophy.

Why do I think that is possible? Just look at leaders like @AnnaForFlorida @ShevrinJones @CarlosGSmith @NicoletSpringer @MaxwellFrostFL and so so so many others.

Look at @Dreamdefenders @AMarch4OurLives @FLRightsRestore + many others

All of which started in Florida.

We’re just getting started
