RAC-FL

We have been building RAC-FL since 2018 when we organized around the successful passage of Amendment 4, and in 2019 we partnered with immigration justice organizations to close the Homestead child detention center. In 2020 we channeled our energy into Every Voice, Every Vote: The Reform Movement’s Civic Engagement Campaign, through which we mobilized over ten thousand members/voter contacts in our congregations and communities and worked in partnership across lines of difference to mobilize low-propensity voters and combat voter suppression.  

RAC-FL officially launched in July 2020, in conjunction with our statewide Civic Engagement Campaign, a part of Every Voice: The Reform Movement’s 2020 Civic Engagement Campaign. Our goals were to ensure that every voice was heard, and every vote counted in this past election and to begin building our RAC-FL base across the state. This campaign focused on: 

• Mobilizing our congregations to become 100% voting communities 
• Combatting voter suppression by mobilizing low propensity voters through phone banking in partnership with the New Florida Majority Education Fund
• Engaging with County Supervisors of Elections in partnership with All Voting Is Local to ensure full access to the ballot for every eligible voter
