Your Vote, Your Democracy Bus Trip to Tallahassee: Support State Attorney Monique Worrell at the Florida Supreme Court
The suspension of State Attorney Monique Worrell, the duly-elected state attorney chosen by the people of Orange and Osceola counties, is a direct attack on the ability of Floridians to make their voices heard at the ballot box. Before Gov. DeSantis, governor’s only removed elected officials who’d been charged with a crime or exhibited gross incompetence. Neither is the case with Monique Worrell. Monique Worrell, the only Black woman to hold the position of an elected prosecutor in the state of Florida, ran on a promise to the people of Central Florida that she would uphold their values in office and she has fulfilled that promise.
We invite you to join State Attorney Monique Worrell, Equal Ground Education Fund(EGEF) and Formerly Incarcerated & Convicted People and Families Movement (FICPFM) in Tallahassee for a mobilization day as State Attorney Worrell provides oral arguments to the Florida Supreme Court.
Upon registration transportation, meals and other accommodations will be provided for the day in Tallahassee.

Take the Lead: 2024 Legislative Session Edition
Take the Lead Training series was created to help aspiring and experienced Black leaders expand their civic, civil, and political engagement within their local community and across the state. We believe understanding the fundamental structure of government and how to engage in that process is an essential component to holding our elected leaders accountable and producing the results we need in our community.
This year participants will have an option between two tracks. We will offer an intermediate track that covers the basics of the Florida Legislative Session and an advanced track that will provide tools and insight on how to take your advocacy to the next level when engaging with legislators in meetings. All attendees will also hear from legislative leaders about what to expect in the upcoming 2024 Legislative Session. Our featured speakers for the evening will be State Sen. Tracie Davis & State Rep. LaVon Bracy-Davis.

Report Release Reception: The Other Black Voter
our Founder will moderate a discussion on the newly released report “The Other Black Voter: Analyzing the Political Socialization of Florida’s HBCU Students and Considerations for Empowering Tomorrow’s Voices Today.” This report will be released in partnership with the National Science Foundation and University of Central Florida.
Despite extensive scholarly inquiry into the subject of political socialization, there is a significant knowledge gap concerning non-white voters, particularly as to the development of political beliefs and values it relates to young Black voters.
This research report presents an overview of field-based research, which included the participation of Black college students enrolled in Florida HBCUs. We’d love for you to join us!
