2024 Legislative Round-Up
See if the people who are elected to represent you actually represented you this year.
During the 2024 Legislative Session, Florida Rising called on our legislators to support policies that put people over profit, that advance racial and economic justice, and to stand against divisive bills that prevent Floridians from living full and free lives.
We tracked votes on the bills listed below to determine which legislators were champions consistently voting for justice on every Block, who were supporters, and who were bullies attacking the rights of working people in our state, Floridians of color, and LGBTQIA+ Floridians.
Our Champions are legislators who consistently and unapologetically put the needs of historically marginalized communities first.
Our Supporters have sponsored bills that support our communities and have spoken out in defense of our communities; however, their voting record can improve on several of the bills we tracked. If their voting record showed that they could improve their position on more than half of the bills tracked within an issue area, the round-up illustrates the area(s) for improvement.
Bullies are legislators who actively attack and dehumanize historically marginalized communities and use legislation as a weapon to perpetuate racial disparities and poverty. They voted against the Floridians’ well-being at least 70% of the time.
