Human Rights Council of North Central Florida Founded in 1993, the Human Rights Council of North Central Florida works to end discrimination.

HRCNCF has been your Hometown Equality Advocate for LGBTQ rights since 1993 – leading the fight for Alachua County sexual orientation and gender identity protections (2013), Gainesville gender identity protections (2008), domestic partner registry (2007), domestic partner benefits for city employees (1999), and sexual orientation protections (1998). HRCNCF continues to conduct candidate questionnaires and forums to keep you informed where local candidates stand on LGBTQ issues. HRCNCF also conducts town hall meetings on a variety of issues, including our recent town hall meeting featuring LGBTQ liaisons from both the Gainesville Police Department and the Alachua County Sheriff's Office. Become a member today and help HRCNCF continue to sustain and expand human rights! HRCNCF welcomes everyone to attend its monthly meetings on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7 PM at Pride Community Center of North Central Florida, 3131 NW 13th Street, in Gainesville.

Congrats to candidates Certain, Ward, Crabbe, Willits, and Rockwell who all won their primaries on Tuesday night.
Hunter Miller was way ahead in his School Board race, 45% to Janine Plavac's 35%, but the winner must receive 50%+1. So, he will face a runoff against Plavac in the 11/3 general election.
The Mayor's, City Commissioners', County Judge Group 5, and other School Board races are all nonpartisan and were decided on the 8/18 primary.
This is what we will be voting on in the 11/3 general election.
