A leading civil rights organization has issued a formal travel advisory for the state of Florida after what it called an"all-out attack" on Black Americans and other groups with the passage of recent bills.
The NAACP issued the advisory Saturday in response to what they called"aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity and inclusion programs in Florida schools" by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. "Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals," the advisory said in part."Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."
The advisory mentions bills passed, including the so-called"Stop W.O.K.E" Act, bills regarding voting rights and recent bills restricting access to medical care for members of the trans community along with signed bills that ban gender surgical procedures for minors, restricts pronoun use in schools and forces people to use the bathroom corresponding with their sex.
