Progressive groups release 'Informed Voters' guide to Florida ballot initiatives

Progress Florida and the group Florida Watch have released an “Informed Voters” guide to amendments on the ballot in Florida this General Election.

The guide outlines six proposed constitutional amendments, including information about what the amendments would do, recommendations from participating civic engagement and advocacy organizations on how to vote on each initiative, and links to more information.

The guide includes recommendations on how to vote on each amendment from several organizations, including the League of Women Voters of Florida, the NAACP Florida State Conference, Mi Familia en Acción, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Florida, ACLU Florida, Florida For All, Common Cause Florida, Equality Florida, the Florida National Organization for Women, Equal Ground, and the National Council of Jewish Women.

Not every organization offers the same voting recommendation in the guide. Each amendment in the guide contains a brief description of the initiative. Next to that, there are boxes corresponding to each organization, with a “no” in red to indicate opposition to the amendment, a “yes” in green to indicate support, or a blank box to indicate no position taken.

We’ve got a good opportunity to unseat Rick Scott, two important amendments and of course, the presidency is at stake. Florida may be coming out of the trance that we’ve been in for too long
