Hi Everyone,

I apologize for the long break between updates, but I'm sure your email box is grateful.  There has been a lot of movement with our bill and I wanted to thank you for your support!

Every signature adds up. Every action matters.  We are almost at 7,000 signatures now and I am so inspired! Let's keep this going!

We are currently writing the first draft of the bill with the guidance of Representative Eskamani and Senator Stewart. I am also thrilled to have the support of Congressman Crist and Congressman Soto!  We are currently working on getting more elected officials to collaborate.   

Please be ready to write your elected officials when the time comes.  Once our bill is written (targeting October 1st) we will have a bill # for you to start campaigning for!

We are also seeking partnership with more organizations to join our coalition.  Anyone can join! Are you an organization leader ready to add your name to our petition? SIGN UP HERE

We are seeking more volunteers to join our already wonderful team. Fill out this form if you are interested. Our next meeting is Tuesday, 9/7 @ 6:30pm ET

On a national scale, there are more states joining the Make Us Visible coalition and we are proud to be standing in solidarity across states lines with CT, PA, GA, and NJ. 

Our next town hall is scheduled so SAVE THE DATE! September 22, Thursday 7:00pm.  Please follow us at Make Us Visible Florida for updates and to watch LIVE! 

Thanks to Spectrum 13 news for highlighting our efforts.  

EACH ONE OF YOU who signed this petition is the reason that our youth is one step closer to learning AAPI history in our k-12 Florida curriculum. THANK YOU.

Please continue to share this with others - each time it is shared, we get a little boost - and it would be great going into the holiday weekend jumping over 7,000!  

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. Stay safe.

Mimi
