Top Ten Reasons to Join Today! 

The League is on the move, and your voice is needed to keep up the fight for a better Florida! Here are some of our recent accomplishments:

1.     Participated in a lawsuit that blocked the State of Florida’s attempts to illegally purge registered voters 90 days before an election.

2.    Reduced gerrymandering by leading the charge for the Fair Districts amendments, which finally set clear rules for drawing political districts.

3.    Eliminated roadblocks to voting by demanding that the Legislature reinstate early voting days and Sunday before Election Day. Persuaded Florida institutions of higher education to host polling places in 2018 and helped to increase voter turnout to historic levels in Leon County.

4.    Helped place the successful Water and Land Legacy Amendment on the election ballot by collecting over 25,000 signed petitions. (If this one is kept we need to say what year it was.)

5.    Campaigned to place and pass the Ethics Reform Amendment to the Tallahassee City Charter.

6.    Helped to bring Solar Farms to Tallahassee.

7.    Successfully persuaded Florida voters to defeat 1o out of 12 amendments on the 2018 ballot, many of which combined multiple and unrelated proposals. The League was instrumental in the passage of Amendment 4 which restored voting rights to numerous convicted felons.

8.   Worked with environmental groups to successfully pressure the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to halt the sale of state-owned conservation lands.

9.    Successfully campaigned against Amendment 1 on the 2016 ballot which would have hindered the expansion of the use of solar energy, and for Amendment 4 which promotes the use of solar energy. 

10.  Formed the FL Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, which prevented the passage of NRA-backed legislation that would have allowed guns in airports, on college campuses, and in government meetings, as well as allowing open carry for concealed weapons permit holders.
