There are 6 bills to it that have been put forth in the legislature. The state budgeting process effectively locks the governor in a room with the leaders of the state senate and assembly to hash it out; our goal is to put pressure on legislators to back the six bills in question such that they end up as part of the final budget. Most of the ones in our area have expressed support already.

It's now independent of our org, so I don't have those figures. But it continues distributing food and assistance around the community.

The aforementioned Tax The Rich campaign, updates from our working groups, and breakout rooms to talk about police violence.

There's one facilitator who guides the meeting along, but the campaign stuff was led by two other people, after which there was a Q&A where anybody could voice their thoughts on it. And then everybody was expected to talk a bit in the smaller group settings.

Very cool.

I've been thinking about including myself in more local politics and joining a group like yours, Anti. Do they have a Florida chapter?
From the looks of it, several based on locality. But I can't speak for how large or active any of those might be.

We have over 300 dues paying members in our area, but 30 were at the meeting tonight, and that's probably on the larger side for a meeting like this.
