The Pinellas/Hillsborough Interfaith Coalition, LWVSPA, and our allies host a peaceful Freedom Vigil to stand in solidarity with immigrant families and demand an end to the detention and deportation of our nonviolent, law-abiding immigrant community neighbors, siblings, and friends. These vigils shine a light on the erosion of due process and the rise of authoritarian overreach. We pray for family reunification and justice for all immigrants. Together, we affirm that justice, compassion, and the rule of law must apply to everyone—regardless of immigration status.

Due to the Governor’s decision to reschedule the start of the special legislative session on redistricting to Tuesday, April 28th, we will no longer be holding our Day of Action on April 20th: we are rescheduling it to Tuesday, April 28th.

Florida’s Legislature is advancing an unprecedented mid-decade redistricting effort that threatens to weaken voting rights and dilute the political power of our communities.

This move is part of a broader national strategy. At the urging of Donald Trump, several states are revisiting congressional maps outside the normal cycle to gain a partisan advantage ahead of the 2026 elections. Florida is now among the last major states where communities still have an opportunity to respond and push back.

Join Equal Ground, Florida Rising, Common Cause, LWVSPA and partners from across the state for a Day of Action at the Florida State Capitol on Tuesday, April 28. We are providing a free trip to Tallahassee, along with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The day will feature a rally, a community mock hearing on the Florida Voting Rights Act where you can sign up to speak, and coordinated advocacy to ensure our voices are heard. That evening, we will host a virtual call to share updates and outline next steps.

Space is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Register today to reserve your seat.

9:00 am Arrive in Tallahassee

10:00 am Rally

11:30 am Lunch

1:00 pm Florida Voting Rights Act Mock Hearing
