Our colleagues at the Stanford Law School Rule of Law Impact Lab recently released a report alongside Florida Rising and Human Rights Watch arguing that Florida leaders are reshaping elementary, middle, and high school classroom content through new laws and policies that censor, distort, and discriminate. They suggest that these laws restrict classroom instruction about race in U.S. history, sexual orientation, and gender identity, ban books reducing the information available to students, and promulgate inaccurate and misleading civics and history standards. Read their report titled, "'Why Do They Hate Us So Much?': Discriminatory Censorship Laws Harm Education in Florida," linked below.

On June 12th, 2016, 49 innocent souls lost their lives as a result of the tragic shooting at Pulse Orlando. A community forced to go on without their best friends or confidants. The victims of the shooting were predominantly Latinx members of the LGBTQIA+ community, a reminder of the intersectionality of our shared struggles. Now, the space serves as a memorial, reminding us of the innocent lives lost too soon and our continued fight for justice. Pride Month celebrates LGBTQIA+ existence and resistance and serves as a reminder that the struggle is not over. From Stonewall in 1969 to rallying against anti-transgender legislation in 2024, we are committed to building a future where we all thrive. We will amplify the courage of those who came before us and commit to continuing their legacy. We honor the victims of #Pulse by taking action to fight for equality on every block! #HonorThemWithAction #OrlandoStrong #TogetherWeRise
