No matter what we look like
or where we come from, most of us believe in creating a better future for our kids. Together, we can create a Florida where prosperity is shared and where every person has the freedom to thrive.
To do this, we must learn
about our shared past, including the history of discriminatory laws and policies that have limited the ability to thrive for most Floridians, particularly for Floridians of color. We must also learn about the times when we came together across our differences to create laws and policies that benefited all of us.
Food Security
Florida participates in several federally funded food assistance programs that have proved effective in reducing food insecurity and providing nutritional support to people with low income. Together, these programs, which are the culmination of roughly 100 years of bipartisan support and growing pains, go a long way in reducing health inequities related to nutrition deficiencies.
Education
Public schools are places where children come together to learn and prepare to be citizens in our democracy. Because of this, public schools often serve as centers of our communities, connecting neighbors with neighbors, and providing resources and support - from health care to cultural celebration.
Learning from Our Policy Past to Shape Our Future
By learning about our past, we give ourselves the knowledge we need to shape a better future – one in which every Floridian, of every race in every corner of our state, can reach their full potential.
When We Come Together
We all lose when policy decisions limit who can thrive. But when Floridians come together to pursue a better future, everyone wins.
