Dear John,
The bills passed during the 2022 legislative sessions, and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, will effectively become law today, Friday July 1, 2022 . As we know, during this year’s session, the Republican-led Florida Legislature staged an all out attack on many of our rights, targeting several of the people-centered policies that we hold at the heart of our movement and our work.
In an effort to keep our communities informed about these new policies and the ways that they might affect us, here is a breakdown of the most noteworthy changes to look out for:

appeals.
These laws attack low-income communities, promote the white-washing of history and censorship of LGBTQ+ identity. Their passing and signing will have serious consequences for Floridians in the years to come. Which is why this November, it is our duty to show up to the polls and vote in state elections, to choose champions that will advance progress in Florida.
While we continue to face opposition from right-wing lawmakers, it is our priority to fight this opposition with the optimism and tenacity that fortifies our movement and brings us closer to the Florida we wish to see. We remain committed to our communities, their safety, and their needs.
Florida Rising will continue to fight these policies, at court and at the ballot box. By becoming a member, you affirm your desire to stay engaged in the fight.
