Florida Rising Together

Florida Rising Together, a statewide independent political organization in Florida, seeks to build broader multiracial movements with individuals from historically marginalized communities to win elections and campaigns at the local, state, and national levels that will improve the lives of people in the communities we serve. Our organization seeks to develop leaders to shift power to our communities to decide our own destinies.

Florida Rising Together works in the following program areas:

Expand Democracy - Our communities won't be stopped by barriers, voter suppression, or attempts to take away our vote. We educate, register, and mobilize voters as one key way of holding politicians accountable and making our voices heard

Climate Justice - We want a regenerative future and a just transition that puts frontline communities at the center of energy policy, disaster response, food policy, and all climate change initiatives

Housing Justice - Housing is a human right not a profit tool for greedy landlords. We fight for safe affordable homes, rent control, and development that doesn't displace us.

Gender & Reproductive Justice - We fight back against policies and practices that seek to control and restrict women and femmes' bodies and the resources that serve us

Criminal System Reform - A prison and police-only approach does the opposite of creating real safety in our communities. We work to end mass incarceration, defend immigrants, and eliminate laws that take away the vote from people with felony convictions
