Our elected leaders have a responsibility to protect the people of Florida. Not only are thousands of people contracting Covid-19, but today we have over 1.7 million Floridians who have filed claims for unemployment benefits, yet only a very small portion have received their unemployment checks. 

Tell Gov. Ron DeSantis to #CutTheChecks for unemployed Floridians now! Click here to sign our petition.

While millions of Floridians are struggling to survive, pay rent and feed their families, DeSantis has given $540 million to his corporate friends. His actions have shown he is not a good leader for the people of Florida. Our communities deserve better.

New Florida Majority surveyed 20,000 Floridians in the communities we serve: 1 in 3 reported job loss, and the majority are most concerned about financial security and health care. We need immediate unemployment relief for all Floridians who have lost income due to COVID-19. Sign here to demand that Gov. Ron DeSantis #CutTheChecks.

In Power and Unity,

Andrea Mercado
Executive Director 
New Florida Majority
