Equal Ground On The Ground: 2026 Legislative Session Debrief Tour - Lee County

Following the conclusion of Florida’s 2026 Legislative Session, Equal Ground and partners are taking the conversation directly to the people through their On The Ground Legislative Session Debrief Tour, a statewide effort to ensure communities are informed, engaged, and prepared for what lies ahead.

This nonpartisan event is designed to break down what happened during the legislative session, what new laws and policy changes mean for everyday Floridians, and how these decisions will impact communities, particularly Black communities and other historically underrepresented voices.

Through this gathering, participants will:

-Receive clear, accessible updates on major legislation passed during the session

-Understand the real-life impact of policy decisions on voting rights, education, criminal justice, economic opportunity, and more

-Engage directly with policy experts, community leaders, and advocates Learn how to stay civically engaged and prepared for the 2026 election cycle, including updates related to district lines and redistricting

More than just a debrief, this event is a call to action, equipping individuals, faith leaders, and community organizations with the tools and knowledge needed to organize, mobilize, and make their voices heard.

At Equal Ground, we believe that informed communities are empowered communities. The On The Ground Legislative Session Debrief Tour ensures that what happens in Tallahassee does not stay in Tallahassee, but reaches every corner of our state.
