March on UCF, the center of a heated turmoil between Governor DeSantis and college students over the proposed ban of diversity clubs/organization/classss (POC, women, LGBTQ, etc), and take back our lives from the hands of those who do not know our voices.
House Bill 999 will eradicate all funding, university support, and allowance of existence to any equity, diversity, or inclusion organization.
"A Florida College System institution, state university , Florida College System institution direct-support organization, or state university direct-support organization may not expend an state or federal funds to promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that...
Advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion... [or that] Promote or engage in political or social activism." (HB999)
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis... announced plans to block state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory in his latest step onto the front lines of the nation’s culture wars.
The Republican governor debuted the proposal as part of a larger, higher education legislative package that is expected to be taken up by the GOP-controlled statehouse when its regular session begins in March."
