April 17, 2023 by Florida NOW

Kat Duesterhaus @ OccupyTally Press Release. 4/4/23

We’re here today because our rights are being violated.  Not only our state constitutional rights to privacy, which includes our personal healthcare decisions, but as we were out against the near total abortion ban our 1st Amendment rights were also violated.

I’m calling for the City of Tallahassee to drop all charges against out peaceful protesters.

This is our reality in the state of Florida under the leadership of Ron DeSantis and a super majority of Republican extremists.

Florida is no longer a free state, and every day we snowball closer to fascism.

I want the legislators trying to pass laws on my body know that we are watching and we are voting.

I want the world to know that Ron DeSantis is a threat to the freedom and democracy.

I want the people watching to know we are all ok and not one bit deterred.  In fact, we are energized by your support and attention, and determined to keep going.

We must band together and fight back.

Join our resistance at @occupytally23

Stay woke Florida!
