FIRST AMENDMENT OUR DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA. CENSORSHIP IS BEING USED BY THOSE IN POWER TO DENY AND DISTORT HISTORY; OBSCURE THE LAWS AND POLICIES THAT CONTINUE TO BOLSTER SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY; SILENCE EXPERT GUIDANCE; CONTROL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTION; AND THREATEN OUR FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES. THE RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST IS ALSO BEING STIFLED WITH LAWS, RESTRICTIVE RULES, AND EXCESSIVE USE OF POLICE FORCE. THROUGH LITIGATION, ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, THE ACLU OF FLORIDA IS WORKING TO FIGHT ALL FORMS OF CENSORSHIP, SECURE FREE SPEECH FOR ALL FLORIDIANS, AND DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY.
