The 2025 Florida Legislative session begins on March 4. From immigration measures to proposed efforts to limit citizen-led constitutional amendments, democracy is being chipped away in Florida. One of FFD's most-watched programs last year was with Bob Schaeffer sharing his perspectives on the most significant legislation impacting our freedoms and democracy. Bob will once again help enlighten us and help identify opportunities to share our perspectives with Florida's state elected officials. 

Register here for Feb. 26, 7 pm ET for this virtual Zoom.
