Without Florida, the national execution rate would be like an average year, with fewer than 30 executions across the country.
Florida executed 19 death row inmates in 2025. That caused unusual national uptick

Happy Kwanzaa!
Kwanzaa honors the strength, resilience, and creativity of Black communities. As we enter this week, we’re reflecting on what it means to come together not just to celebrate, but to use our collective power to stand up for justice, truth, and build a future where we all thrive.

This victory helps to keep hundreds of thousands of veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, and vulnerable families housed and out of the cold.

In 2024, FJI and the Southern Legal Counsel sued St. Johns County over its anti-panhandling ordinance.
That lawsuit has helped to keep other counties and cities from enforcing similar laws.

#OTD in 1965 the 13th Amendment ended slavery, but with a loophole; slavery was allowed as punishment for a crime. This marked the beginning of mass incarceration and the systemic oppression of Black people that persists today. Understanding this history is crucial to dismantling the system.
