Equal Ground, a statewide group aimed at empowering Blacks, is launching a tour this summer to call out what they call as the “failed” Republican-majority Florida Legislature, which has yet to approve a budget before a July 1 deadline.
“Florida lawmakers have once again failed to address the pressing needs of Floridians, instead allowing in-fighting to derail the 2025 Legislative Session and using their power to silence Florida voters by attacking the citizen-led ballot initiative process,” said Equal Ground Executive Director Genesis Robinson. “We are ensuring that all Floridians understand what happened this year as lawmakers not only attacked our rights, but also failed to meet their most basic constitutional obligation — passing a budget — on time.”
