Don’t look away. Read every one of these. America is torturing children and causing untold suffering that will last for generations.

Now scheduled on Special Order (Feb 11) — often the last stop before a House vote. ✉️ Contact your Representative today. Sample letter provided — make it your own: 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/vote-n… #StopBookBans #FLleg

📣 Just published a letter to the editor in the Miami Herald stressing that Miami-Dade’s next school superintendent must support, not compete with, public education. Our kids deserve leadership that strengthens our classrooms—not undermines them. ✍️📚 Read it here 👇

Florida SB 896 would allow certain students, faculty, and staff to carry firearms inside college buildings. Not everyone. But enough to fundamentally change campus life. Here’s what the bill actually does and why people are concerned ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/moms4libro…

@EvanPower @Jenkins4Florida @RepFine What race did she lose Evan? On the contrary, she has a better win record, and a better arrest record than you.

@Jenkins4Florida @RepFine We are just confused because you keep running and losing 🤷🏻‍♂️ Are you going to pay yourself a salary on your Congressional campaign like you did in your Senate grift?

Seat shopping grifter @Jenkins4Florida has found her next “campaign” Is she going to pay her self a salary in this race like she did in the Senate race?

Thank you @RepSkidmore for voicing our concerns as well. We too are afraid this bill opens that door to private entities taking our publicly owned lands.

@flreparistide HB 833 removes local governance. Local governments are best able to make decisions for their communities. Tallahassee should not be making the decisions for our local Miami communities.

@Jose_AAlv Please oppose HB 833. This removes local governance, and local communities need to be able to make decisions that are best for their own communities.

Florida HB 1147 creates a statewide inventory of unused public school land, including locations and market value. They call it transparency. But it looks a lot like building a roadmap for privatization. Here’s why PCS for HB 1147 matters ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/moms4libro…

Florida HB 833 would let small private schools open in strip malls and commercial spaces without rezoning, permits, or community oversight. Meanwhile, public schools still face strict rules and shrinking budgets. Here’s what PCS for HB 833 really does ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/moms4libro…

SJR 1104 advances in the Florida Senate. The proposed constitutional amendment on religious expression in public schools passed its first committee stop. House companion HJR 583 has been added to the Second Reading Calendar. What this means and what’s next ⬇️ bit.ly/4ryTSz2

An important item on the Feb 11 Miami-Dade School Board agenda begins planning for the next superintendent. This early step shapes who qualifies, what priorities matter, and how the public is included. We’re watching closely. Talking points coming soon. 🔗open.substack.com/pub/moms4libro…

Florida Surgeon General says the state will end vaccine requirements for kids in school and wants to end ALL mandates: “Who am I to tell you what to put in your body? It’s a gift from God.” Innocent children with ignorant parents will pay the price.

These steps don’t always make headlines, but they shape what becomes law. For a full breakdown of what we’re watching this week, including timelines and committee stops, you can read more here:🔗 moms4libros.substack.com/p/florida-educ…

SB 1216 is up in the Appropriations Committee on Pre-K–12 Education. This committee decides whether the bill advances at all.

What we’re watching this week in the Florida Legislature (Week 4). Several education bills are at critical stages — second reading, special order, and committee votes — where changes happen fast. 🧵⬇️
