Students and youth across Florida with groups like the College Democrats at the University of Central Florida, Climate Active Gator, Climate Change Club of American Heritage High School, Florida PIRG Students, Nova Green Sharks, Young Leaders for Wild Florida, and several other students and youth groups organized a virtual advocacy event: Stop the Roads to Ruin: Don’t Break Florida’s Heart, Don’t Break Florida’s Bank with the No Roads to Ruin to Coalition.
This coordinated virtual advocacy event raised awareness of the 330+ miles of toll roads that threaten to pave over Florida’s future and activated youth to let lawmakers know that Florida’s future doesn’t need three new toll roads. It also provided three mini-breakout trainings to provide practical skills and tactics that anyone can use to be a better public advocate and make social change on their campus or in their community.
If you weren’t able to make the event, you can see the slide deck from the presentation here.
