ALERT: Defeat The Don't Say Gay or Trans at Work Bill

🚨TAKE ACTION:🚨

The Don’t Say Gay or Trans at Work bill brings Florida’s culture wars directly into the workplace by regulating how people refer to themselves and others on the job.

The bill is headed to committee. Tell lawmakers to vote NO on S.B. 1642/H.B. 641 NOW: act.eqfl.org/a/2026-dont-...

We know the moment we're in. We know the attacks we're facing. And we know this: Equality Florida was built for moments like this. Watch Stratton's video, and let's keep working towards a better Florida, together. (5/5)

As Executive Director, Stratton is upholding Equality Florida's absolute commitment to racial justice, reproductive freedom, and transgender liberation — especially in this dangerous moment. (4/5)

Together, under Stratton's leadership, we've helped end Florida’s ban on gay and lesbian adoption and secured marriage equality before any other Southern state. We've defeated harmful legislation year after year, even in one of the most hostile political climates in the country. (3/5)

Stratton isn’t new to this movement — or to this organization. Alongside Nadine Smith, he co-founded Equality Florida in 1997, at a time when LGBTQ Floridians had few rights and even fewer protections. This organization was born in resistance. Built to win. (2/5)

🚨ALERT: Bad bill up for a vote!🚨

The Outlawing Activism Bill (HB 1471/SB 1632) is up for a vote in the House Civil Justice & Claims Subcommittee on Thursday, January 29th at 8:00am!

Contact members of the subcommittee right away and tell them to vote NO on HB 1471: act.eqfl.org/a/2026-outla...

Call your US Senators and demand a NO vote on the Department of Homeland Security budget. We cannot let state terror become normalized.

Equality Florida stands in solidarity with Minnesotans who are rising up and demanding a halt to these deadly operations. (5/5)

While millions of Americans struggle under cuts to healthcare, Congress is rushing to boost funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, making it clear where their priorities lie. They’re choosing fear, force, and secrecy over accountability and human life. (4/5)

Thousands of Minnesotans, including local leaders, have taken to the streets demanding ICE get out. Yet, ICE continues to operate with impunity. (3/5)

They killed Renee Good. They killed Keith Porter. They’re terrorizing communities. They’re roaming neighborhoods, circling schools, and following buses. They’re kidnapping toddlers and kids, using them as bait. (2/5)

Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse and U.S. citizen.

This is state violence becoming routine. (1/5)

Contact the Florida Department of Health now and demand transparency, accountability, and an immediate halt to these heartless cuts: act.eqfl.org/a/2026-stop-...

🚨ACTION ALERT!🚨

The Florida Department of Health has announced it will slash the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) beginning March 1st. The DeSantis admin has offered ZERO transparency about the ADAP budget or how these funds have been managed.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., who has guided the spirit of resistance for decades across the country and all over the world. Everyone deserves to be protected, and we will never stop fighting for true equality.

Thank you, Representative Rosenwald and Senator Smith, for sponsoring the Hate Crimes Law Expansion bill!

🚨URGENT🚨 The first anti-LGBTQ bill of the session is heading to two legislative committees this Tuesday.

Tell lawmakers to put families first. Vote NO on H.B. 743/S.B.1010. Take action: act.eqfl.org/a/2026-more-...

Weakening this life-saving law dishonors the victims of Parkland and ignores the clear link between access to firearms and gun safety. Floridians were promised safer communities, but this bill moves us backward.

Florida raised the minimum age to purchase firearms to 21 after the 2018 Parkland tragedy, as part of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Firearms Safety Act. The "Lowering the Purchasing Age" bill rolls back that promise, allowing 18-year-olds to buy and carry guns.

URGENT: The "Lowering the Purchasing Age" bill by State Representative Sirois is headed to the House Floor for a full vote!

Send a message to your Representative right away and urge them to vote NO on HB 133 when it comes to the House Floor: act.eqfl.org/a/2026-lower...

'Advocates fear there is financial mismanagement with the AIDS Drug Assistance Program given the sheer lack of financial transparency the community once was provided by DOH.'"

'Advocates are convinced that the attack on ADAP is fueled by the DeSantis Administration’s bigoted attacks on gender ideology given that many LGBTQ individuals rely on this lifeline for access to life-saving medications,' said Michael Emanuel Rajner…
