The Florida House Chamber passed HB 289, which could allow an abuser to sue a friend, family member, or medical provider for a loss of a pregnancy, even against the will of the mother.

There is so much going on, so I thought we needed a brief timeline cleanser. Pause your doom scroll to admire two of #HD44Pawstituents, Cookie and Maximiliano.
If you have fur babies you would like to have highlighted, please email us pics and names and we will be happy to share!

Special sessions aren’t free. Let’s focus on Floridians.

Hundreds of people gathered to pray for Venezuela and her future.
