Each Florida legislator received a score and corresponding letter grade based on their votes across a wide spectrum of issues.
President Trump’s court appointments from his first term in office have wreaked havoc on our communities and now, he’s taking it to the next level. Next week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to hold the first hearing for Trump’s latest slate of judicial nominees and we need your help to stop their confirmations.
Florida’s flagship wildlife and land conservation program, Florida Forever, is in serious trouble. Florida’s wildlife corridor project, endangered species including the Florida panther, and access to open space for outdoor recreation are in jeopardy.
State Rep. Plakon (R – Lake Mary) has confirmed her reckless bill, (HB 1505) to restrict minors’ access to a wide range of health care services, would block young Floridians from calling a suicide prevention hotline without parental consent.
If HB 1505 passes, it will create immense confusion and unnecessary interference with the doctor patient relationship. A minor will be unable to be prescribed birth control, receive treatment for an STI, or access outpatient mental health crisis services if a parent does not consent. This is extremely dangerous: untreated STIs can lead to cancer, reduced motor functions, infertility, and even death.
Thanks to citizen-led ballot initiatives to amend the state Constitution, Florida voters have raised the minimum wage, protected our beaches from oil drilling, legalized medical marijuana, created universal voluntary pre-kindergarten for children, and passed many other reforms when politicians in Tallahassee have refused to act.
This Legislative Session, we’re sending a clear message: politicians are never more qualified to make health care decisions for us than we are. Learn about the bills impacting reproductive health and freedom.
Right now, the “State Park Protection Act” (SB 80/HB 209), which aims to prevent DeSantis, or any future governor, from recklessly paving over our beloved state parks is moving through the Legislature. We need your help to not only ensure this legislation passes, but to make it stronger.
We need your urgent support of House Bill 1139/Senate Bill 870: a bill to end Florida’s near-total abortion ban. Florida’s ban is dangerous, unnecessary, and unpopular with voters who, in November of last year, supported overturning the ban with 57% of the vote.
With a regressive administration at the helm of our nation’s government, the 2025 Florida legislative session soon to be underway, and numerous special elections this year, it’s more important than ever to stay on top of current political and policy news.
