Central Florida Jobs With Justice

With Florida being a huge focal point right now, @centralfljwj and I have done a breakdown of DeSantis’ sinister ploy to privatize public education, shift public funding to charter schools, and disempower teachers unions 📚

DCF estimates that 900K Floridians will lose Medicaid coverage because they no longer qualify. Thank you Rep @AngieNixon and Rep @KWaldron4D93 for joining FVH, @FloridaPolicy, @FLHealthJustice, and @centralfljwj in calling for Florida's leaders to #ClosetheCoverageGap yesterday!

🧵 In #Florida we’ve come together to solve big problems many times before. Our vision for our state is almost within reach. We can make our buildings more resilient, make sure everyone has clean air, protect communities from extreme storms, and create good jobs… 1/

Newly elected lawmakers aren’t scored yet. We invite Sen @AlexisMCalatayu and Reps @fabianbasabe2, @Gantt4Florida, @vickillopez, @JuanPorrasFL, and @AlinaGarcia to join their constituents in building this vision of climate justice by standing up to corporate greed! 11/

Closing the coverage gap will provide preventive care for more than 800,000 uninsured Floridians. Follow @FLdecidesHC to help make healthcare accessible for all! #FloridaDecidesHealthcare

We cannot be erased. We cannot be silenced. We cannot be banned. #cantbanus

The history you take out of the classroom today, is the history you force us to invoke and repeat. Try as he might, Ron DeSantis #cantbanus and we’re walking out of classrooms across Florida today to show him that a movement will be birthed from his hate.

History is filled with beautiful struggles to make the world a better place. When you keep that history from us, we'll just make history again. Today, we're walking out of classrooms across the state of Florida to show DeSantis that he #cantbanus ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

When you ban our books, we buck back. Today, students and educators in cities across the state of Florida are walking out to show that DeSantis #cantbanus, our histories or our lives.

Today, students, parents, educators, administrators, pastors, workers, are walking out across the state of Florida to tell Ron DeSantis that he #cantbanus.
