Right now, activists from every corner of Florida are with us in Tallahassee to demand an end to the onslaught of anti-LGBTQ bills aimed at policing us in every aspect of our lives.

Follow along as they hold lawmakers accountable.
A lunch briefing with legislative champions (like @AnnaForFlorida !) gets folks fired up.
Fiam, James & AJ, FL students in 6th, 8th & 12th grade are joined by their parents & teachers to share how the Don’t Say Gay Bill will harm them, their families & their classmates.

Thank you for welcoming them Sen. @Annette_Taddeo 💙

We hope you hydrated and took a moment to breathe. Because another bad bill is up in Committee now.

The governor's Stop WOKE Act (see: censorship of uncomfortable conversations) is up in its FINAL House Committee. Tune in: thefloridachannel.org/#:~:text=Educa…
The bill is up now. Tune in.
Rep. @BryanAvilaFL claims that the bill will not criminalize the teaching of the root causes of discrimination, injustice and bias.

Unfortunately, the language of the bill itself disagrees. Image

You can also watch live: thefloridachannel.org/#:~:text=Senat…
Our team has packed the house in opposition to the bill today. Image
Sen. @ShevrinJones : Have you spoken to any family whose K-3 aged child has had these conversations in school?

Sen. @dennisbaxley : This isn't about personal stories.

That's code for "no". He has not. Image

DeSantis is taking a page from Anita Bryant’s playbook, using anti-LGBTQ legislation as a springboard to serve his national political ambitions. From banning books and electronic monitoring of teachers to white-washing history and allowing the state to dictate our health care...
...decisions, DeSantis is committed to an agenda of censorship and surveillance that intrudes on all aspects of our lives.
His political agenda is driven not by the real pressing needs of our state but his desire to peel away Trump supporters as the two jockey for the 2024 GOP presidential primary. He is willing to inflict harm on the most vulnerable in FL in order to shore up his extremist base.
