IGNITE's statement on the passage of the "Don't Say Gay" bill in Florida

Written by Sara Guillermo | 3/29/22 6:59 PM

On March 28th, Governor Ron DeSantis signed the “Parental Rights in Education” law, better known as the “Dont Say Gay Bill,” into law in Florida. The bill prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in primary schools, starting July 1. We are devastated by this news.

Our IGNITE team and community are here for you. You can always lean on us. We will continue to advocate for bills that protect our LGBTQ+ community. We will continue to fight for diversity at all levels of government. We will continue to teach you how to advocate for the issues you care most about. 

It’s times like these that remind us how important it is to have elected officials who represent us and how important it is to speak up. Make your voice heard – that’s how change happens.

In solidarity, 

Sara Guillermo, IGNITE CEO
