TALLAHASSEE, FL – This Monday, February 7th, 2022 from 5-6 pm EST on the steps of the Florida Historic Capitol the Florida Student Power Network, Dream Defenders, Florida Coalition for Transgender Liberation,  ACLU of Florida, Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, Florida Council of Churches, Women’s March Florida, Florida National Organization for Women and National Action Network are hosting the Stop HB 7 Rally to oppose the “Destruction of Florida Education Act” and stop its racist and transphobic attack on our children.

It's time to protect our most marginalized and vulnerable children and stop passing racist laws that exclude of transgender and gender diverse children in Florida public schools, colleges and universities and chill a teacher’s ability to teach about systems of oppression, racism, and gender oppression in U.S. history and today. 

If passed, HB 7 will continue systems of white supremacy and transphobia in our schools and uphold the legacy of those systems of power in every facet of life in Florida by targeting Florida’s most vulnerable student populations.

We demand the legislature block HB 7/SB 148 and address the real crisis we have in our education system including the rapid spread of the coronavirus in our schools, feeding poverty impacted children, and reducing class size.

What:  Stop HB 7 Rally

When:  Monday, February 7th, 2022 at 5:00 to 6:00 pm EST

Where:   Steps of the Florida Historic Capitol, 400 S Monroe St, Tallahassee, FL
