Now that thousands of people have signed the Floridians’ Clean Water Declaration and millions of Florida voters said yes to Amendment 1 this past November, it’s time to take our message directly to Tallahassee!
On February 18, Floridians’ Clean Water Declaration and Amendment 1 advocates will join forces for a “We Want Clean Water” rally on the front steps of the historic Old Capitol. After the rally, we’ll spread out over the Capitol for the unique opportunity to bring our water stories directly to public officials and the state’s highest water managers!
