We're a nonprofit organization that helps environmentalist state legislative candidates run grassroots campaigns.

[Florida Democrats @FlaDems]

Florida Republicans are working overtime to make it more difficult to request & cast your ballot — but your @FlaDems work harder! This #NationalVRDay, we’re hosting 60+ events to re-enroll & register voters.

Donate today to our voter reg. efforts! https://t.co/mkka8KwlaC

Governor DeSantis has until Wednesday 5/24 to veto SB 540, which would strike the death knell for growth management in Florida. Please join us & sign our petition & help us stand up for citizen’s right to participate in the community planning process.

We're barely a year out from Piney Point and @GovRonDeSantis and House Republicans sneak in legislation to make similar disasters MORE likely??

[Ben Diamond @BenDiamondFL]

Anyone remember when red tide in Tampa Bay was so bad that the City of St Pete was struggling to clean up all the dead fish downtown?

The Republican legislature is about to do even more damage to our water quality with this preemption. Enough!!

"That’s going to be our message, that he has become a fascist, that he is doing everything in his power to obtain more power by taking away power from the Legislature, the judiciary, the cabinet only to amass more for himself..."

Scientists are raising endangered sharks in captivity and releasing them in protected areas to build back self-sustaining wild populations that were teetering on extinction.

Experts think it may work.

By me @NatGeo w/cameo by #HarrisonFord

Really.

Toxic algae in Florida lakes.

Red tide raging off Southwest Florida.

Lake Okeechobee discharges to both coasts.

As the state Legislature begins session in Tallahassee, a water crisis looms large. Yet @RepMaggard and @DannyBurgessFL have filed bills that would make it worse.

[Jayden D’Onofrio @jaydenforfl]

Today Florida Republicans silently filed a bill to lower the age requirement from 21 to 18 years old to own an assault rifle.

This law was created after the shooting at MSD. More kids will die now. They don’t care.

Hey #Tampa friends! 👋 Don’t forget to vote in the municipal election today to re-elect @carlsonbill! He’s been a strong advocate for clean water & our environment, and was endorsed by @SierraClubTB — let’s keep him on the city council!

[Hillsborough County Democrats @HCFLDems]

Tallahassee will vote on permitless carry in this session, which starts today.

[Miami Waterkeeper @MiamiWaterkpr]

👀  WHAT WE’RE WATCHING 👀 Florida Senate Bill 1240 and House Bill 1197 will harm our waterways! If passed, these bills would prevent local governments from protecting our waterways through local laws — making it more difficult to protect the water you love.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

A Republican in Florida just introduced a bill that would ban the Democratic Party from existing in the state. Registered Democrats in Florida would be notified that their party has been “canceled” and they’re now no-party voters. https://t.co/N3hvUEjaRr

[SawgrassProgressives @SawgrassProgre1]

@NoLieWithBTC We are one of the FL orgs fighting back to recapture seats in the state legislature. Follow us, and help us push back against this fascism!

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

I’ve had people tell me to stop using the word fascist in talking about Gov DeSantis and what’s going on in Florida. I won’t stop. This is what’s going on. I won’t tone down my language when we are actively being oppressed. This is my home.
