Mission and programs · 2024

• FIRST AMENDMENT THE FREEDOM TO LEARN AND LIBERTY OF EXPRESSION ARE HALLMARKS OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, BUT OUR DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK IN FLORIDA. ACROSS THE STATE, CENSORSHIP IS BEING USED BY THOSE IN POWER TO DENY AND DISTORT HISTORY; HIDE THE LAWS AND POLICIES THAT CONTINUE TO BOLSTER SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY; SILENCE EXPERT GUIDANCE AND CHILL PEACEFUL PROTESTS; CONTROL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTION; AND THREATEN OUR FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTIES. THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATIONS, POLICY, LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, AND ORGANIZING EFFORTS THE ACLU OF FLORIDA WORKS TO DEFEND FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS IN FLORIDA.

• OTHER THE ACLU OF FLORIDA ENGAGES IN POLICY AND ADVOCACY WORK TO ADVANCE THE RIGHTS OF FLORIDIANS WHILE BLOCKING POLITICIAN'S EFFORTS TO LIMIT THE CIVIL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES ON IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT ARE CONFRONTING FLORIDIANS BUT FALL OUTSIDE OUR PRIMARY CAMPAIGNS SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING: CRIMINAL JUSTICE THE ACLU OF FLORIDA'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM CAMPAIGN AIMS TO SIGNIFICANTLY REFORM FLORIDAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM TO REDUCE INCARCERATION AND RACIAL DISPARITIES AND TO END DISCRIMINATORY SENTENCING AND TREATMENT. THE ACLU OF FLORIDA DEVELOPS EVIDENCE-BASED CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICY GOALS AND IMPLEMENTS A COMPREHENSIVE, MULTI-FACETED ADVOCACY AND RESEARCH PLAN AIMED AT CREATING A JUST CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM IN FLORIDA. OUR TEAM CONDUCTS QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH, POLLING, DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS TO INFORM POLICYMAKERS AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT CHANGES NEEDED IN FLORIDAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS DESPITE THE FACT THAT TWO-THIRDS OF FLORIDIANS SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO ABORTION AND VOTERS HAVE CONSISTENTLY CAST THEIR BALLOTS TO PROTECT THAT RIGHT, FLORIDA POLITICIANS PASSED A DANGEROUS 6 WEEK BAN LAST YEAR. 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. IN ORDER TO PROTECT FLORIDIANS RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND LIMIT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE WITH ABORTION IN FLORIDA, WE WILL CONTINUE OUR DIRECT ADVOCACY WITH LEGISLATORS AND POLICYMAKERS SUPPORTED BY STRONG ISSUE AND MESSAGING RESEARCH, DATA COLLECTION, AND ANALYSIS. LGBTQ+ RIGHTS THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IN FLORIDAWHO HAS LONG STRUGGLED FOR BASIC RECOGNITION OF THEIR RIGHTS, DIGNITY, AND PRIVACYIS 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. THROUGH POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND COMMUNICATIONS, WE WORK TO CREATE A FLORIDA FREE OF DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY. THIS MEANS A FLORIDA WHERE LGBTQ+ PEOPLE CAN LIVE OPENLY; WHERE OUR IDENTITIES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND FAMILIES ARE RESPECTED; AND WHERE THERE IS FAIR TREATMENT ON THE JOB, IN SCHOOLS, HOUSING, PUBLIC PLACES, HEALTH CARE, AND GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
