Equality Florida

Securing full equality for Florida's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

To our community, we will not stop fighting for the Florida we all deserve: a Florida where everyone is treated with respect and given the chance to thrive.

More background and our full statement here: https://t.co/MjBo6dEZOh

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

DISTURBING: Reports are exposing Marshall Rawson, GOP candidate for the Florida House, for his vile antisemitism, cozy relationships with white supremacists, and applauding the murder of LGBTQ people.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

Rawson’s repulsive hate should be disqualifying because this kind of dehumanization should have no place in our state.

And any politician should be able to answer a simple question: Will you vocally denounce this violent rhetoric or will you be complicit?

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

We’re proud to stand with Angie because we know what a fighter looks like.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

There’s no question — @AngieNixon is a fierce, proven champion for LGBTQ Floridians and has spent her career fighting for a Florida where no one is left behind. The best part?

She's never been afraid to speak truth to power.

Inbox: LGBTQ org @EqualityFlorida is condemning an attack text linking to a 2020 report about CD 24 candidate @ShevrinJones being turned away from a blood drive due to his sexuality.

Equality, which endorsed Jones, says it didn't pay for the text, which the text says it did.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

A repulsive and illegal smear campaign that reeks of desperation. Our best response? Send @ShevrinJones to Congress to be our champion.

The proposed class action says the government is forcing workers and their families to choose between medically necessary care and crushing expenses. https://t.co/mAueyh0j1t

NEWS! Equality Florida Action, Inc. is PROUD to endorse @ShevrinJones for Congress! Shev is a history-maker, fearless champion for equality, and passionate public servant.

Now it’s time to make history again and elect him to be Florida’s FIRST openly LGBTQ member of Congress.

“Today, Moms for Liberty Florida has not made any contributions to local school board candidates across Florida and is poised to be just a minor player this cycle.”

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

After being repeatedly exposed for who they really are, astroturf political operation Moms For Liberty continues its collapse.

From the leading book banners, we bring you: eliminating school libraries entirely?

Clay County School District is now considering removing libraries from its high schools, making empty bookshelves a real threat for thousands of students.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

This is the cost of the censorship agenda of DeSantis, his enablers in the legislature, & the right wing.

Florida's students deserve the freedom to read & a real investment in their education -- not banned books, censored curriculum, & empty shelves.

“Miami-Dade County may go to court over Florida’s new anti-DEI law, which bars local funding of groups or services tied to gender, race or sexual orientation. County leaders say the legislation is sweeping enough to make Miami-Dade rethink countless spending decisions…

…from staffing the current Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board to awarding a tourism grant to a gay-pride parade to sponsoring a festival celebrating Haitian Americans.”

Big news from @eqfl_actionPAC!

[EQFL Action PAC @eqfl_actionPAC]

We’re proud to endorse St. Petersburg @MayorKenWelch for re-election!

Local leadership has never mattered more. Mayor Welch has shown that inclusive leadership builds stronger communities and sends a clear message that everyone deserves to thrive.

“When they have no real solutions to offer on the issues that matter most to Floridians — affordability, housing, rising insurance costs, strengthening our economy — right wing politicians resort to their tired smokescreen of division, outrage and distraction..."
