CALL TO ACTION: Call the Senate President NOW and tell him what you think about pushing forced parental consent.

This bill is a secret attack on our constitutional protect for abortion that uses young people as pawns. It aims to overturn Florida's version of Roe v. Wade.

Call Bill Galvano NOW and tell him that you are incredibly disappointed to see the Florida Senate pushing the unconstitutional and harmful forced parental consent bill: SB 404.

CALL HIM NOW AT (941) 741-3401

SB 404 passed its first hurdle last week on a party-line vote.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. It’s a day started by Gwendolyn Ann Smith in 1999 to remember Rita Hester, a black trans woman who was murdered the year before. Since then it’s grown to day for the trans community to mourn for our dead.

We’ve lost too many people to hate crimes, violence, and oppression. We remember all the names we know and honour all the siblings we never got to meet.

This year we’re hosting an online TDOR for anyone who wants to connect with other trans people but can’t make it to an event. We’ll be sharing thoughts, reflections, and art from trans people throughout the day here and on Twitter. If you’d like to add your perspectives send us a link or comment here.

We take today to mourn and remember, to hold space for each other to grieve and heal. And then we keep leading the changes we need to see as trans people for trans people with all the strength and creativity our community already has.

Whoohoo, shoutout to Generation Action at FSU for being at this committee hearing and being ready to advocate for reproductive health in Florida! This is amazing work!

The state's forced parental consent bill has been referred to as a “stalking horse” meant to overhaul Florida’s constitutional right to privacy, which protects access to abortion.

Newsflash: Florida leans hostile

A small success!! The trojan-horse parental consent bill has been stalled in its first of three senate committees, pushing the next vote back towards January. Kudos to the amazing activists who came out!!

You know it's an election year when Florida lawmakers take up an abortion bill and start spinning conspiracy tales about their opponents.

The Parental Consent Bill is being heard in the FL Senate Health Policy committee on Tuesday (11/12)!!

This committee hearing is our best shot at defeating this bill so we HAVE TO BE LOUD. Call Sen Baxley!

NUMBER: 850-487-5012
SCRIPT: “Hi my name is ____________ and I’m calling today to ask Senator Baxley to please vote no on SB 404, a piece of trojan horse legislation that threats all Floridians’ constitutional rights.”

This bill is just the first step in a plan to have our constitutional right to privacy reinterpreted to no longer safeguard access to abortion. Given the attacks on access in neighboring states Florida could end up being the last place in the southeast where abortion is still accessible.

Call these legislators on the House Health & Human Services Committee who will hear the bill on Oct 22nd, and urge them to vote against House Bill 265 – the forced parental consent for abortion bill.
