This protest may appear bleak, but it’s rooted in REALITY. Further marginalization of the transgender community can be DEADLY.
Protesters will lie dead for 37 mins, symbolizing the 37% of trans Floridians who have faced harassment due to an incorrect gender marker.

This HORRIFIC anti-LGBTQ+ policy change was directed by Robert Kynoch, Deputy Director of the FL DMV, in a department-wide memo.
He ORDERED a BAN on accurate gender marker changes, contributing to TRANS ERASURE, while opening the door for potential suspension or “fraud” charges.

We are disgusted to report that HB-49 passed the Florida House yesterday, which, if signed into law, would effectively gut child labor laws in our state.
To the 80 "aye" votes, we hope your young constituents' blood, sweat, and tears were worth a check from corporate lobbyists.

Our BRAVE board chair was just THROWN OUT of a committee hearing for standing up against DANGEROUS gun policies.
Such blatant fascism 😑
Just got FORCEFULLY REMOVED from a committee hearing within TWENTY seconds of the Chair saying "Thank you, sir" in the middle of my testimony on a bill that would weaken gun laws in our state
No time limit provided for comments, no warning, just two men flanking me on both sides

Historically, when young people have sought to plan meaningful actions in their communities, the associated financial burden has always been a significant obstacle.
To build the equitable and diverse movement necessitated to take back Florida, we need to hastily mend this issue.

Are Florida legislators finally listening to WE the people?
YAF is so proud and grateful for the unrelenting advocacy of organizers on-the-ground, striving to put our state back on track.
Another Florida is possible! 💜 🙌
1. Could the tide be turning against anti-trans legislation? Local organizers in Florida certainly seem so.
That's because dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ bills, heavily targeting the trans community, have just died as the legislature adjourned.

Youth Action Fund is horrified to hear that the DeSantis administration is moving to further restrict legal recognition of transgender Floridians.
Make no mistake, this rule change will not go down without a fight! ✊
The DeSantis administration just issued an unprecedented new attack that seeks to deny legal existence to tens of thousands of transgender Floridians, threatens them with criminal + civil penalties and was implemented with ZERO public notice or input to ensure maximum disruption.

Unanimously passed in student government, this HUGE step forward calls on UF to:
-Commence the decarbonization of campus.
-Increase transparency of environmentally harmful
investments in UF’s endowment.
-Create a pathway towards
divestment from fossil fuels & natural gas.
