John, I meant what I told Teen Vogue: A progressive Florida does and will continue to exist, despite Ron DeSantis’ fascist rule.

If you’re with me to make it happen, I’m asking you to chip in whatever you can right now – especially with my next election year practically here. >>

I know that in Florida of all places – a state where our governor has stripped people of their rights, banned books, is actively targeting minorities and vulnerable communities – all hope for a progressive future can feel lost.

But I still have that hope. Why? Because of the people.

The people of Central Florida chose to elect a Gen Z, working class, Afro-Latino organizer as their representative. People like you. Grassroots supporters. Everyday folks who resonated with our movement and chose to back my campaign.

As much as our hateful leaders try to erase our progress, you’re how I know that they can’t. Together, we’ve proven we’ll never let them.

Instead, we’re building a collective movement in Florida and across the country that’s led by love. We’ve got a fight ahead, but community will always triumph over hate.

P.S – If you’d like to read my Op-Ed in Teen Vogue, here’s a link! >>

Together,
