Gov. DeSantis has shown his authoritarian intent by attacking free speech and limiting the freedom to learn in schools and higher education. He loves to tout a “free” state of Florida when it is clear that freedom is just a campaign slogan to the Governor. #florida #flapol

This year's hurricane season was very active with many powerful storms impacting Florida. Now, a new study has found that climate change has made Atlantic hurricanes about 18mph faster since 2019. We need leaders who will act on the climate crisis, not continue to deny reality! #florida #flapol

Many seniors in the Sunshine State are in dire financial straits and face losing their housing after a lifetime of hard work while Republicans give tax breaks & handouts to greedy corporate developers. Every Floridian deserves the freedom to be healthy, prosperous, & safe!

Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, property insurance rates are 5 times the national average, leaving many Floridians & unable to afford coverage & driving up the cost of housing for everyone. We need solutions to this crisis, not more giveaways to insurance corporations raising our rates. #florida #flapol

According to a recent study, Florida has the 4th highest power bills in the United States. While the cost of electric bills skyrocket, Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republicans give tax breaks & handouts to the same corporate utilities that are price gouging us out of our homes. #florida #flapol

Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida is turning a blind eye to problems like the climate crisis or actively making things worse while doing the bidding of corporate polluters. We need leadership that serves the needs of the people, not wealthy political donors. #florida #flapol

Rep. Fentrice Driskell and Sen. Jason Pizzo will serve as Democratic leaders in the legislature for the next two years. “Timidity has no place in the work we will undertake,” said Rep. Driskell as they vowed to hold the line & fight for working families & seniors in Florida! #florida #flapol

With Donald Trump’s election to the presidency, many immigrants fear deportation - even those with lawful status. The Sunshine State is powered by hard-working immigrants who raise families, pay taxes, & power our economy. They deserve respect, not to live in fear. #florida

Despite being required by law, Gov. Ron DeSantis' Department of Environmental Protection has refused to create rules to protect our water from corporate polluters. The Florida Springs Council is now suing to protect our environmental treasures for generations to come. #florida #flapol

Every Floridian should have the freedom to be healthy, prosperous, & safe, but our state's affordability crisis is putting the dream of home ownership out of reach for many. While politicians give more tax breaks & handouts to greedy developers, it's working families who suffer.

As property insurance rates have skyrocketed, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans have responded with taxpayer handouts to the same insurance corporations price-gouging Floridians. We deserve coverage that is available, affordable, and accountable to Floridians! #florida
