Take Action To Save The Everglades From Big Sugar

It’s time to protect our water by ending the deadlock on Everglades restoration once and for all. What has been called "the most critical piece of land ever for Everglades restoration" could be bought this year, but Big Sugar, who agreed to sell this land to the public in 2010, is trying to run out the clock, hoping you won’t notice.
Sign the petition to the Florida Legislature today and tell them to buy this critical land south of Lake Okeechobee. We can help save the Everglades from Big Sugar and protect Florida’s drinking water all at the same time. here

Support SB 166: Ban Fracking In Florida

Florida's delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system are in danger from fracking.

We’re at an important moment in the debate over this critical issue: Sens. Darren Soto (D-Orlando) and Dwight Bullard (D-Miami) have introduced SB 166, a statewide ban on this dangerous threat to our water, our environment, and the health of our communities.

Sign our petition urging legislators to support SB 166 and finally remove the threat of fracking from endangering the Florida we love.

Florida's Latest Private Voucher Scheme

Rick Scott’s allies in the Florida Legislature are working to divert our tax dollars to unaccountable voucher schools. Private vouchers purposely divert funding away from our already underfunded public schools
Enriching their campaign contributors in the process.
We urge you to oppose HB 7099.
