CENSORSHIP IS BEING USED BY THOSE IN POWER TO DENY AND DISTORT HISTORY; OBSCURE THE LAWS AND POLICIES THAT CONTINUE TO BOLSTER SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY; SILENCE EXPERT GUIDANCE; CONTROL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTION; AND THREATEN OUR FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES. THE RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST IS ALSO BEING STIFLED WITH LAWS, RESTRICTIVE RULES, AND EXCESSIVE USE OF POLICE FORCE. THROUGH LITIGATION, ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, THE ACLU OF FLORIDA IS WORKING TO FIGHT ALL FORMS OF CENSORSHIP, SECURE FREE SPEECH FOR ALL FLORIDIANS, AND DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY. 4774922 IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS IMMIGRATION POLICY IN FLORIDA CURRENTLY INSTILLS FEAR IN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, HARMS INDIVIDUALS, SEPARATES FAMILIES, AND IS WILDLY DISCRIMINATORY. FLORIDA IS ALSO HOME TO SEVERAL IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTERS, AND THE PRACTICES IN THESE FACILITIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNTOLD SUFFERING, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, AND DEATHS. THROUGH PUBLIC EDUCATION AND LITIGATION EFFORTS, THE ACLU OF FLORIDA'S IMMIGRANTS' RIGHTS CAMPAIGN AIMS TO BRING AN END TO UNCONSTITUTIONAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT PRACTICES, END MASS IMMIGRATION DETENTION, ENSURE DUE PROCESS, WHILE CREATING SAFER COMMUNITIES FOR IMMIGRANT FLORIDIANS. 1800504 VOTING RIGHTS VOTING IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT UPON WHICH ALL OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES REST. FLORIDA CONTINUES TO SUPPRESS VOTING RIGHTS, IMPOSE RACIALLY GERRYMANDERED MAP, AND HEIGHTEN BARRIERS TO REGISTRATION WHICH SEVERELY LIMITS ACCESS TO VOTING. THE ACLU OF FLORIDA'S VOTING RIGHTS CAMPAIGN AIMS TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND VOTING RIGHTS AND PARTICIPATION AMONG ALL ELIGIBLE FLORIDIANS. THIS EFFORT IS PURSUED THROUGH PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS AND LITIGATION. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THE DEPARTMENT IS INVOLVED IN DOZENS OF INVESTIGATIONS, RESEARCH ASSIGNMENTS, AND LEGAL CASES. 2700816 OTHER LITIGATION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION ON IMPORTANT CIVIL LIBERTIES AND CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUES THAT ARE CONFRONTING FLORIDIANS BUT FALL OUTSIDE OUR PRIMARY CAMPAIGNS SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING: CRIMINAL JUSTICE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN FLORIDA IS BUILT ON STRUCTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AND HAS A DEVASTATING, DISPARATE IMPACT ON BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE.

IT STRIPS FLORIDIANS OF THEIR RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, OFFERS LITTLE TO NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE OR INCEST, AND CRIMINALIZES DOCTORS WHO OFFER ABORTION CARE TO PATIENTS AFTER THAT POINT. THIS LAW HAS HAD DEVASTATING EFFECTS DUE TO THE MYRIAD OF BARRIERS PEOPLE MUST NAVIGATE TO GET AN ABORTION. THROUGH LITIGATION, RESEARCH, ADVOCACY, PUBLIC EDUCATION AND STORYTELLING, WE ARE FIGHTING TO PROTECT FLORIDIANS' RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND LIMIT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE IN THESE IMPORTANT AND PERSONAL MEDICAL DECISIONS TO ENSURE EVERY FLORIDIAN HAS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHEN AND IF TO HAVE A CHILD. LGBTQ+ RIGHTS THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IN FLORIDA-WHO HAS LONG STRUGGLED FOR BASIC RECOGNITION OF THEIR RIGHTS, DIGNITY, AND PRIVACY-IS UNDER INCREASED ATTACK. LGBTQ+ PEOPLE IN FLORIDA ARE BEING PUNISHED BY POLICIES THAT ESSENTIALLY BAN CLASSROOM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THEIR EXISTENCE, PREVENT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE FROM USING THE APPROPRIATE RESTROOM OR RECEIVING LIFE- SAVING GENDER AFFIRMING CARE, SERIOUSLY RESTRICT PROPER PRONOUN USE, AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR TEACHERS TO BE SUPPORTIVE WHEN WE KNOW THAT A SINGLE SUPPORTIVE TEACHER CAN SAVE A QUEER STUDENT'S LIFE.
