The collaborative is made up of nonpartisan community organizations, including Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. Delta Sigma Zeta Chapter, the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

The League of Women Voters of Florida has played a significant role in crafting legislation (Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525) that avoids delays in determining voter eligibility. These sort of delays can lead to voter suppression or disenfranchisement if eligible individuals are not allowed to vote due to unresolved issues.

The clock is ticking and Senate Bill 904 & House Bill 1525 have yet to have a hearing. Tell legislative leadership to give these crucial pieces of voting rights legislation a hearing ASAP!
