We have reached the point in Legislative Session where it’s going to take sizeable public outcry to stop bad bills that have been moving through the process. Ready to prioritize? 

We’re running out of time to stop these anti-freedom bills but the actions we take right now could be the last push we need. If you’re in Tallahassee or can be, please show up and speak out in the final days of in-person public testimony.
