You must get out to vote ,as if your very life depends on it. My friends our rights and freedoms can and are at great risk of being lost. Because of the ADA and the Civil Rights act, we all have opportunities to live a life, with choices that we make about our Education and where we will work, worship, and enjoy life to the fullness. Use your right to vote and make your voices heard. <div><br><div>I never thought that our students could loose the right to read books of interest to them. We now face book censorship in our school libraries. Teachers cannot truly talk about Black History and the Diversity and Inclusion departments in Colleges and Universities in our state are going to be removed. Those employed by K-12 schools, and with the State University system could loose their jobs if they make people feel uncomfortable. This is a disaster, how much further will the Governor and our State Elected Officers go, in all this? Where does it all end, after our Constitutional rights are all gone. We must stand up now, and write to the members of our Florida Legislature with our issues and concerns. Next they will begin to take away our rights as blind people, and persons with disabilities. Transportation , Rehabilitation, Education, and Employment could all be up for grabs down the road, if we do not remain watchful. </div><div><br></div><div>I urge you, to please think about and study the bills being passed during this 2023 Legislative Session. Register to vote, or renew your Registration as quickly as possible. Listen and pray for love and understanding for all people in our state. Black History and DEI are both very important for our students here in Florida. May we have peace and Justice for all now and in the future. We must stand on the side of truth and freedom for all citizens of Florida and the United States. Progress has been made, let us not go back, we can move forward, working together for a better future for everyone. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely, </div><div>Marilyn Baldwin </div><div>Chairman </div><div>Diversity Committee </div><div>NFBF </div><div>(407)810-0554 </div><div><br></div><div>Please forgive me for any errors in this post. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Mar 21, 2023, at 9:19 PM, Mark Tardif via NFBF-L <nfbf-l@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div>Very well said, your life does depend on it. I don’t care if you have
to hitch a ride to the polling place, register and vote. In fact, as a New
Englander, I would recommend that you members of the Florida affiliate consider
moving up here. I am absolutely serious, and I must sound very partisan,
but you may be prisoners in your state if the legislature and Desatan, and I
think that name is very well put, keep pushing the way they are. Sorry to
sound so extreme, but your state is in serious trouble. </div>

you all for responding to the article. These bills are going to hurt the
disability community as well as the African American people. I agree with your
well written post Marion.
<div> </div>
<div>We all have work to do in this state, to stop the current movement by the
Florida Legislature to divide us and take the precious freedoms away that so
many people fought and died for during the Civil Rights movement, and in subtle
ways, the weakening of the ADA. </div>

<div>Do not take your right to vote and make a difference for granted. Register

because it does. Again, thank you all for this discussion. </div>

J.D.,<br><br> What we, as disabled
individuals, need to realize is that the<br>anti-woke movement is not only a
fascist attempt to subjugate racial,<br>ethnic, religious, and gender
differences, it is also the radical right's<br>attempt to justify
discrimination against the disabled. Our fascist governor<br>is attempting
to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion programs<br>designed to
increase opportunities for traiditionally underrepresented<br>minorities!
One of the underrepresented minorities DEI programs attempts to<br>elevate
is the disabled population. In Governor deSatan's own words, "We<br>refuse
to have your personal ideology crammed down our throats!" One of
the<br>techniques fascists use is to claim their oppressive ideologies
actually<br>make us free! Unquestioningly believing the contradictory and
often<br>double-bind communication of fascist leaders causes a large portion
of the<br>population to ignorantly to believe what the fascist leaders
assert.<br>Remember that Winston Smith's last words in George Orwell's
"1984" were, "I<br>love you, Big Brother!"<br><br>Fraternally
