Protect Florida’s Democracy: Stop the Attacks on Citizen Initiatives
Florida Lawmakers
Florida’s legislative session is underway, and lawmakers face a choice: stand with the people or give more power to political insiders and special interests.
Right now, some politicians are pushing bills (SB 7016 and HB 1205) that would make it harder for everyday Floridians to bring issues to the ballot. These proposals would let politicians interfere with citizen-led amendments, even removing them from the ballot entirely—silencing voters and protecting the status quo.
They are afraid Floridians will pass laws that their special interest backers have been able to block. We need leaders who defend our rights, not those who rewrite the rules to benefit the powerful few.
Tell Florida legislators: Protect our voice. Defend citizen-led democracy.Sign the petition now to stop SB 7016 and HB 1205.

Florida’s voters have used citizen-led amendments to drive meaningful change—from raising the minimum wage to protecting our environment. But this session, lawmakers are considering dangerous proposals, SB 7016 and HB 1205, that would make it nearly impossible for everyday Floridians to bring issues to the ballot.
These bills would weaken a fundamental part of our democracy. They would make the process even more extreme and give politicians the power to block amendments they don’t like—even if voters support them.
Stand with the people of Florida and reject SB 7016 and HB 1205. Defend the rights of voters, protect our voice, and support a government that’s accountable to the people—not special interests.
