As the situation in Minneapolis continues to unfold, one principle must remain clear: government agencies have a responsibility to protect the people— not endanger them.
We demand transparency and accountability in government actions that impact community-serving nonprofits and remain committed to working toward a freer and fairer Florida for all.
Our state should not be in the business of labeling nonprofits as “terrorist organizations” simply because it disagrees with their First Amendment-protected views or constitutionally-protected conduct.
