Last week, progressive elected and community leaders from Nevada and Florida met virtually to discuss what they are calling “the extreme anti-freedom agenda” being pushed by DeSantis.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a former Florida Congresswoman, said DeSantis puts the public safety of communities at risk every day and added in April he signed a near-total “near total” abortion ban behind closed doors.
“This outrageous attack on reproductive freedom will hurt the most vulnerable populations here in need of care,” she said. “And make no mistake, if he is elected to be president, Ron DeSantis will push for the same near-total ban at the federal level.”
