HB 731/SB 1710 seeks to prohibit Florida's state agencies from promoting or endorsing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This legislation would undermine efforts to foster inclusive workplaces and equitable access to state services for all Floridians, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or other characteristics. Such a ban runs counter to our shared values of equality and justice. I urge you to vote NO on this harmful and unnecessary bill that would enshrine discrimination within state operations. Our government should lead by example in embracing diversity rather than suppressing it.
