Civil Rights, Community Leaders to Host Voter Suppression News Availability BEFORE U.S. Senate Field Hearing

January 26, 2012 News Advisories Comments Off

TAMPA – A coalition of community groups including the ACLU and the NAACP will conduct a press availability and media availability in advance of the U.S. Judiciary Sub-Committee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights field hearing on Florida’s voter suppression tactics scheduled this Friday, January 27th in Tampa.

The press conference will take place at:

Friday, January 27th, 2012
11:00 a.m. ET
Sixth (6th) Floor Judicial Conference Room
Hillsborough County Courthouse
800 E. Twiggs Street
Tampa, FL
Expected to participate are:

Adora Obi Nweze, President, Florida State Conference of the NAACP
Howard Simon, Executive Director, ACLU of Florida
Rev. Charles McKenzie, State Coordinator, Rainbow Push Coalition
Denise Velazquez-Marrero, Executive Director, State Voices Florida 501 C.3 Civic Engagement Table
Liz Buckley, Executive Director, Federation of Congregations United to Serve (FOCUS)

The Senate field hearing will explore Florida’s efforts to suppress through passage and implementation of laws that make it harder to register to vote, harder to cast a ballot and harder to have your vote counted. The hearing is also expected to address Florida’s historic disfranchisement system which keeps more than one million Floridians from being able to vote based on a previous felony conviction.

The NAACP, ACLU, Rainbow PUSH and other organizations have opposed Florida’s voter suppression measures from the beginning and are continuing the opposition through testimony at the field hearing and ongoing federal legal challenges.

# # #

Editor’s Note: The Sixth Floor Conference Room is across the lobby from the courtroom where the field hearing will take place. The field hearing is scheduled for 1pm Friday. TV news coverage may be able to be done live, following the press conference, from the lobby between the Conference Room and the Courtroom.

About the ACLU of Florida The ACLU of Florida is freedom’s watchdog, working daily in the courts, legislature and throughout Florida to defend individual rights and personal freedoms guaranteed by the United States and Florida Constitutions and the Bill of Rights.

Florida Student Association’s 2012 ‘Rally in Tally’ Set for Thursday at State Capitol

January 22, 2012 News Advisories Comments Off

Tallahassee, Florida – On Thursday (Jan. 26), more than 400 students from institutions in the State University System of Florida are expected to converge in the Capitol courtyard – between new and historic Capitol buildings – at 1 p.m. for the annual “Rally in Tally,” an event organized and produced by the Florida Student Association.

FSA Chairman Mike Long, a sophomore at New College of Florida, will announce the FSA’s 2012 Session legislative agenda, which has three core issues. Long also will deliver the student perspective on the Governor’s budget recommendations.

The FSA also will respond to the bill filed for a second consecutive year that would change the process for how student representation is selected for the Florida Board of Governors of the State University. Currently, the 11 student body presidents serve on their respective university’s Board of Trustees. For the Board of Governors, the student representative is elected from that group of membership universities in the Florida Student Association. The FSA strongly opposes any change to the democratic process currently in place – there is an election held each year in the FSA, for a one-year term, for the student representative on the Florida Board of Governors.

The FSA also strongly opposes a tuition increase in 2012. Long says that after a nearly 20 percent reduction in Bright Futures awards, decreasing state financial aid award amounts, and a 15 percent total (base and differential) tuition increase in 2011, Florida’s citizens cannot afford yet another year of drastic increases to the cost of a college education.

The Florida Student Association is an independent non-profit organization representing 300,000 students at 10 institutions within the State University System. Each of the 10 universities pays dues to support the organization and its statewide mission.
