Yesterday was a big day! We had some big wins, but also some crushing losses. Regardless, the struggle continues.

First and foremost, congratulations to @AC4Congress2020, @YvonneHinsonFL, @cynthiaforhouse & @SWFLMom2020 for winning their hard-fought primaries! (Important Thread)

🚨URGENT CALL FOR ASSISTANCE🚨
One of our community leaders in Jacksonville who was brutalized by JSO police officers in May for speaking out in support of Palestine is in between jobs after facing retaliation at work for his advocacy. Any amount helps!

We need to be calling the Mayor’s office every day [phone] to prevent ICE from illegally and unconstitutionally snatching up our neighbors without due process.

Below is a sample email from Jacksonville Immigrants Rights Alliance (JIRA) we can all send to Mayor Deegan 🙏

[DSA Jacksonville #CeasefireNOW! #ArmsEmbargoNOW! @JaxDSA]

Instead of building on a near-winning coalition in 2018, @FlaDems decided to run a former Republican Governor against DeSantis and a cop against Rubio. These campaigns are no more than slush funds for the political consultant class. We can and NEED to do better!!!

“[HB1] exists for one central reason — to criminalize disproportionately black and brown communities when they rise up against injustice, by using the violent arm of the state to arrest and disenfranchise the most marginalized among us.”

I’m still seething with contempt at the Florida state government for not expanding Medicaid. I lost my Medicaid coverage last year, amid the pandemic, and have no healthcare.

No one should be left in the water without a life vest. #ExpandMedicaid #M4A

Up for debate in the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature today:

1) Outlaw peaceful assembly/protesting (yes, you read that correctly)

2) Condemn “democratic socialism” (crickets on fascism and Neo-Nazism)

3) Ban transgender youth from participating in HS/college sports

New article I just wrote about @sunrisemvmt's "Good Jobs for All" Campaign launch this week, how it fits in to the overall goals of the Decade of the Green New Deal, and how you can get involved.

Elijah’s back! HD94 will be an open seat in 2022 as House Minority Leader and centrist Democrat Bobby DuBose will be term limited out of the legislature. Support a young but experienced activist running for state office https://t.co/aslcZiqaqD

While twitter was re-litigating a legislative strategy that never left online spaces to join up with activists and organizers in the real world, National Nurses United just held a Medicare for All Strategy Conference with movement leaders. Here's how you can help: (Thread)

[Ryan @RyanInDuval]

NNU needs District Leaders in every congressional district in the country to grow the strength and size of the Medicare for All movement locally, help confirm original cosponsors, and build the foundation for long-term, strategic pressure campaigns. https://t.co/Dn4y7Fngjp

DeSantis celebrates 1.1 million cases and 20,000 deaths by taking his family maskless to packed high school football game last night

Just want to say a huge congratulations to @Thripp2020 newly elected chair of the Volusia county Democrats! Time to organize

[Ryan @RyanInDuval]

Big win in Florida! @Thripp2020, who ran a strong congressional primary on Medicare for All & the Green New Deal, is the new chair of the Volusia County Democratic Party!

Volusia's coastal communities will benefit from Richard's bold leadership in the fight for climate justice🌅

[Florida Direct Action Network @NewBlueFL]

Ron DeSantis is running the state like a despot stomping out dissent regardless of legality.

Rebekah Jones has been under attack from Tallahassee all year simply because she was damn good at her job, and exposed the malpractice of the DeSantis governorship during COVID.

There will be no update today.

At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech.

They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.

They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

I am running a positive campaign for Chair of the Volusia County Democratic Party. No angry phone calls, fear-mongering, or trashing my opponent. Regardless of Tuesday's outcome, you will have a loyal, dedicated, and hard-working leader for our county's 144,153 Democrats.

[Richard Thripp, PhD @Thripp2020]

Vote Richard Thripp for Chair of the Volusia County Democratic Party. The election is 12/08/2020 at 7:00 PM on Zoom. Only Volusia Democratic party precinct committee persons and club/caucus presidents can vote. Let's work together to modernize our operations and succeed in 2022!
