Wall of Vets Florida

We are the Florida chapter of #WallofVets. We stand for the Constitution. We stand for the First Amendment. Black Lives Matter.

All counties in #Florida have a need for poll monitors, and in some counties the need is critical. If you want to help your community, become a poll monitor and #ProtectTheVote. Register for training to learn more: https://t.co/Jz4REzrSzm

This is not something that should be happening in America. This harkens back to a darker part of history. Actions like this are a form of genocide and those who preformed them should be delt with to the fullest extent of the law

The media finally noticed!
This is why we protest

While the White House cracked down on antifa, law enforcement offices across the country were sharing detailed reports of far-right extremists seeking to attack the protesters and police during demonstrations. https://t.co/I5eOb41eT1 #BlueLeaks

#Breaking Despite 65% of Floridians voting for second chances, the state being unable to tell some folks how much they owe & others having no way to pay, the Court of Appeals ruled against returning citizens seeking the right to vote. #VoterSuppression

TODAY:
The 11th Circuit Court has ruled that #Florida can deny returning citizens their voting rights until all fines and fees are paid — even if they can’t afford it! #PollTax #Amendment4

“It’s clear to me that we never invested in safety nets,” said state representative Anna Eskamani. “We are so reliant on the federal government to keep unemployment going, that without it, Floridian’s right now would have no unemployment at all.”

If we’re using CARES Act money to test football players and coaches, can we also provide funds to ensure all students have the technology to learn remotely and that all teachers have their testing costs covered? https://t.co/OcFBhA10gD

In the latest episode of Life in the Bubble, our media bus has been stopped by protesters against the Orange County Sheriffs dept against the killing of Salaythis Melvin. The protesters thought our bus was filled with NBA players. #BlackLivesMatter

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Orange County Sheriff’s Office fatally shot #SalaythisMelvin in the back as he ran away, 100 yards away, in the Florida Mall parking lot on August 7th. THEN Sheriff John Mina kept the body cam footage hidden until he won re-election on the 18th. https://t.co/j1DIGJm8bz

[Ben Golliver @BenGolliver]

A group of protestors at the NBA Bubble are seeking justice for Salaythis Melvin. Media bus is stopped at the cross section of Coronado Springs & Buena Vista Dr.

[Thomas Harvey @tbh1910.bsky.social @tbh4justice]

@JoshuaBRobbins Are they talking about the recent murder of Salaythis Melvin? Love to see @OrlandoMagic @NBA raise awareness, not let the Sheriff use this moment as copaganda, and support calls to decrease funding his office. https://t.co/FgYsFgoAWj

[Chris Williamson @CWilliamson44]

The most troubling thing about those BLM protests videos that stopped the NBA media bus in Orlando? The fact that some media members were complaining about the protestors. Just reinforces what Fred VlanVeet and George Hill were saying.

[Sen. Jason Pizzo @senpizzo]

3 weeks until the 10/5 registration deadline to vote 11/3. Me and a bunch of other pro bono attorneys (w/ a hell of a lot of courtroom experience) remain ready to get returning citizens quickly through the court process and on to the polls! DM me or @ChiefMaggs38 🗳#Amendment4

[Michael Grieco @Mike_Grieco]

If you are a returning citizen looking to vote in the 2020 election or you know someone who is, many Florida attorneys including myself will assist pro bono in trying to get you eligible. Oct. 5 is the registration deadline.
