Governor DeSantis has until the end of June to wield his veto pen on the budget that has $90 million dedicated to M-CORES

Please act on this message!  Governor DeSantis cannot be left thinking it is OK to fund M-CORES, especially now.

Please email him at governorron.desantis@eog.myflorida.com to urge him to redirect those M-CORES funds to critical state needs.

See here for the letter 80 organizations, including Indivisible St Johns, sent to Governor DeSantis earlier this month for additional talking points.

Sending a Vote Forward letter is one of the easiest things you can do to increase election turnout. It only takes a couple of minutes and a stamp to meaningfully increase the odds that a fellow citizen will vote.

Let's keep this up!
