Governor DeSantis just signed into law the extreme legislation passed by his supermajority in the legislature that criminalizes homelessness, forcing local municipalities across the state to round up people and figure out how to implement this shameful, dehumanizing law.

We should provide unsheltered people with the tools and opportunities they need to build a good life. Instead, the Governor and his Republican allies are forcing them into camps using resources from local taxpayers that could be used to truly help solve this issue.
Skyrocketing rent and homeowners’ insurance rates have forced countless Floridians out of their homes. Now, they will be criminalized by the same politicians who failed them.
Please join us and tell Ron DeSantis and his Republican supermajority that homeless people in Florida should be provided the tools and opportunities to build a good life, not criminalized and forced into camps.
If Florida Republicans truly cared about addressing homelessness, they could implement tools known to work. Community outreach programs and expanding access to health care can change lives. Yet, the GOP supermajority isn’t interested in that — they would rather criminalize the outcome they have done nothing to prevent.
Forcing unsheltered people out of public spaces won’t result in the elimination of homelessness — but the GOP supermajority doesn’t care about that. They want to physically remove people they see as nuisances from the public eye, hoping voters won’t hold them accountable for their failures.
We shouldn’t treat people who are struggling like animals, rounding people up, sending them to homeless camps, and forcing local taxpayers to foot the bill — we can’t let DeSantis and his supermajority get away with it. join us now and speak out for everyone in our state who is afraid of being forced into a camp.
If we don’t speak up for vulnerable populations and marginalized communities, they will continue to be targeted and abused by DeSantis and his extreme supermajority.
Homeless people shouldn’t be criminalized for being homeless. No one should be rounded up and treated like an animal by their government.

Now is the time to address the real issues facing the people of Florida — lowering costs, raising wages, protecting reproductive freedom, and building an affordable future for all of us — but we can’t do that as long as the Florida GOP is holding us back.
The support we provide to Democratic candidates in flippable seats across the state has already been proven effective, so please pitch in what you can right now to provide the resources we need to help break the GOP supermajority and take back our state.
We’re fighting to ensure all Floridians have the freedom to be healthy, prosperous, and safe. It’s a fight we must win, and any support you can provide will help us support Democrats in close, can’t-lose races across our state.
