The Impact of Healthcare Cuts on our Community

Please join us for this luncheon presentation that will shine a light on the local impact of the federal healthcare cuts in terms of access and affordability.

Cuts to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are expected to significantly impact

Sarasota and the rest of Florida by making health insurance unaffordable for millions, leading to higher numbers of uninsured individuals, increasing

strain on hospitals and causing worse health outcomes.

The buffet lunch will include menu items for those with dietary restrictions. Cost is $35 for members and $40 for non-members. Reserve now! Space is limited!

The State of Higher Education in Florida

Since 2022, Florida legislators and postsecondary governing bodies have enacted a series of laws and regulations focused on the State University System of Florida, the group of twelve universities governed by the Florida Board of Governors.

To better understand how recent regulation has impacted the universities, members of the Education Action Team of the League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVFL) and the Policy Committee of the American Association of University Women in Florida (AAUW-FL) examined impact on governance, curriculum, faculty, students, and libraries.

AAUW-FL and LWVFL have issued a new report which takes a look at these recent laws and regulations. Jill Lewis-Spector, PhD, our Education Action Team Leader and member of the LWVFL board, contributed to this report.

Partisan mid-cycle redistricting manipulates districts and undermines our democracy, stifling the voice of voters.

The Florida Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting is meeting in Tallahassee on December 4th and December10th. The Florida League of Women Voters is urging members to attend in person or send a personal letter. Click the letter templates below for tips and examples.
