Legislative

Life. Marriage. Family. Religious Liberty. For more than 20 years, these have been the foundation stones of Florida Family Voice’s mission. And for much of that time, Florida has led the nation in advancing policies that protect them. It has been an honor to stand on the frontlines of that effort alongside faithful leaders committed to rebuilding the walls of our state.

Dear Friends, As the Legislative Session presses forward, this week brought a sobering moment for our team. While advocating to protect children—both born and unborn—our team spent long hours in key committee rooms and had a front-row seat to some of the strongest opposition we have encountered in quite some time.
