A newly advanced Florida bill targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs is raising concerns among LGBTQ advocates and local officials. The proposal would restrict cities and counties from funding or supporting initiatives tied to diversity efforts, including those that recognize or support LGBTQ residents. It also allows lawsuits against local governments and could lead to removal of officials who violate the law. The bill has already passed both the Florida House and Senate and is now awaiting action by Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to sign it into law. Read more and learn what you can do.
You are invited to our Candidate Forum—an opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to represent our community. Candidates will share their vision, answer audience questions, and offer closing remarks in a respectful, informative setting. Attending Speakers: Cindy Banyai (FL State House, Dist. 78); Howard Sapp (Congressional Dist. 19); Victor Arias (Congressional Dist. 19); India Palencia School Bd. At Large-All of Lee Co.; Debbie Jordan (School Bd., Dist. 4)
Your voice matters—join us to learn, ask questions, and be part of shaping our community’s future.
