Legislative Session

We believe in prosperity for Floridians and an economy that works for us all. We work collectively to pass policies and public budgets that invest in people’s prosperity, not corporations or billionaires who write big campaign contribution checks to politicians. This includes ensuring corporations pay what they owe in taxes and ensuring transparency and accountability in our budgets. We believe in investing public dollars in policies like affordable housing, universal childcare, fair wages, health care, energy freedom, and public education. Working families are the engine of our economy and we believe in worker power so that every worker has the right to be paid, protected, and respected.

A prosperous state is one where every eligible voter has access to the ballot box. Where direct democracy, our constitution, and ballot initiatives are accessible to everyday people, and where local communities can pass the local laws that they deserve to be healthy, prosperous, and safe. We are committed to defending our fundamental right to elect those who will represent us, to pass statewide constitutional amendments via ballot initiatives, and pass local laws that serve the unique demands of our communities.

Florida has a mass incarceration problem. Our criminal justice system is rooted in Jim Crow laws, and that dark era continues to plague us today. Under the fake-banner of “Law and Order” and “Tough on Crime,” we see little enforcement of laws for corporate tax evaders and corrupt politicians, while peaceful protestors, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and women seeking abortions are criminalized. Our prisons are overcrowded and Floridians are serving severe sentences for crimes rooted in their race and class. We have to address public safety with public health in mind, make investments in our communities to tackle the root causes of crime, repeal outdated mandatory minimums that do not work, and end the mass incarceration and detention of low-wealth and communities of color.
