Mission

The Florida Consumer Action Network (FCAN) is a grassroots organization which empowers citizens to influence public policy by organizing and educating in areas where consumer voices are underrepresented. FCAN advocated for a more democratic and just Florida. We address economic, political, social and environmental justice issues. Our actions include issue campaigns, non-partisan voter registration, non-partisan get out the vote, and media work and public education. FCAN is engaged for the common good, advancing community, compassion, democracy, justice, freedom and opportunity. We work with national partners including Fair Share, Consumer Federation of America, and similar national organizations.

Consumer Empowerment: FCAN created a donor engagement program to increase involvement and commitment of existing donors and activists through cultivation and the creation of new organizational materials. FCAN built a "small but mighty" base of mid-level donors who are also engaged in consumer issues.

Issues included getting the lead out of school drinking water and saving the bees from pesticides.
