“A #StandforFreedom statewide movement and walkout is scheduled from 12-1PM Thursday on Florida college campuses….host organizations stated ‘We’re asking that you walk out of your classes, jobs and other obligations to meet at your campus student center.’ tallahassee.com/story/news/loc… Image
“The demonstration will demand bringing an end to what organizers say is "the DeSantis administration's attacks on LGBTQ+ and BIPOC students, faculty and staff." The march will request to restore diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in all colleges across the state.” Image
“At FSU, the walkout is expected to involve students meeting at the Westcott Fountain on the university's campus before marching to the governor's mansion on North Adams Street — a 22-minute walk.” Image
“Besides location arrangements at FSU, UCF students plan to meet at their university's Memory Mall Flag Pole for the movement Thursday while USF students will meet on the lawn of their university's Phyllis P. Marshall Student Center.” ImageImage
Folks can also visit staywokefl.com to directly contact the Board of Trustees at their university with their concerns. 📝 #standforfreedom Image

Proud to walkout with @UCF students today to protest Ron DeSantis hostile right-wing takeover of higher education and to #standforfreedom! 📣

Young people are organizing to protect academic freedom, diversity programs (DEI), and LGBTQ students— all under attack in Florida. ImageImageImage
Hundreds of @UCF students rallied in support of Diversity, Equity, + Inclusion programs Ron DeSantis wants to ABOLISH!

We need to save the Multicultural Student Center, LGBTQ+ Support Services, Hispanic Serving Institution Programming and Outreach AND MORE! #standforfreedom ImageImageImageImage
Tomorrow, 2/24, @UCF students will again rally at 8AM before the BOT to demand accountability from university leaders.

Will they protect DEI programs and merit-based scholarships for minorities thru private funding?

How will they support LGBTQ students? #standforfreedom ImageImage

"Ron DeSantis took his culture warring to new extremes...trying to yank a nonprofit theater’s liquor license because it allowed another company to rent out its theater for a drag show."

"They’re going after the charity that runs the venue — in this case, the @OrlandoPhilOrch." Image
"In Ron DeSantis’ America, it’s apparently fine for a parent to take a minor to a movie that features total nudity, rape, sodomy or body dismemberment or to see a vulgar comedian or racist speaker … but not a drag show." -@Scott_Maxwell

"@OrlandoPhilOrch sends musicians to children’s hospitals and underprivileged schools."

"That’s who the governor decided to target. Not the people who actually put on the show. (Probably because he knew that...they had broken no laws.)" Image
