FL NOW Denounces “Alligator Alcatraz” as a Cruel Assault on Human Dignity, Indigenous Sovereignty, and the Everglades

For Immediate Release July 6, 2025 by Florida NOW

Orlando, FL — The Florida National Organization for Women (FL NOW) joins the chorus of Indigenous leaders, environmental advocates, and human rights defenders in condemning the construction of the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility in Big Cypress National Preserve.

“This is not immigration policy—it’s ecological violence and institutionalized cruelty,” said Julie Kent, President of FL NOW. “Governor DeSantis is turning sacred land into a prison camp. These people are not criminals and need due process. Women, children, and families will pay the price. Using the name Alcatraz to name this place is likening this to a horrible prison. It reflects the expected human rights abuses the U.S. has long abhorred and protested. Alligator Alcatraz involves many of FL NOW pillar issues like Reproductive Rights, Racial Justice, Ending Violence Against Women.”

The American people strongly disagree with the bill and its cuts. The cruelty of what Republicans in the House and Senate are doing is incalculable and without conscience.” Julie Kent said.  The plan to accelerate the transfer of money from the poor to the wealthiest is shocking.

For Immediate Release: June 29, 2025

President Julie Kent, Florida National Organization for Women (FL NOW) president@flnow.org

Orlando, FL — The Florida National Organization for Women (FL NOW) strongly condemns the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which strips Medicaid recipients of their right to challenge state decisions that block access to trusted healthcare providers. This ruling is a devastating blow to reproductive justice and a green light for politically motivated attacks on low-income women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ communities.
