Our Voting Power Is Being Chipped Away. Let’s Talk About It.
Florida voters are being cut out of their own democracy through policies that restrict access, limit participation, and dull the power of communities to choose their leaders. These tactics are active right now and they demand a collective response. Our community is stepping up to shine light on what’s happening and to chart ways forward.
EVENT - Dec. 8th 6-8PM
Join us at WonderWorks (5314 Gulfport Boulevard S, Gulfport, FL) for a live, solutions-driven conversation about voter suppression in Florida and the tools we have to push back. Explore real-world impacts of these restrictions and the power communities hold when we stay informed and organized.
