15 states have passed new laws to curb debt-based license suspensions.
It's time for Florida lawmakers to end this cruel, counterproductive practice that traps millions in poverty.
Thank you Marq Mitchell of @ChainlessChange for speaking truth to power.

Florida has the opportunity to be next! HB557/SB386 @ChipLaMarca @SenTomWright @ShevrinJones @JeffreyBrandes @AFPFlorida @diego_echeverri @StarlaMBrown #DrivingOnEmpty #FlaPol
Almost 1 year since Virginia ended the counterproductive practice of suspending licenses for individuals with overdue fines and fees. Appreciate all our partners and the legislators that made this possible @BillStanley @LegalAidJustice

Why do you continue to be so useless as people are dying when you could effectively help reduce that???

Officers who swore to protect and serve killed Kevin. He was a father, friend, son, and community member whose life was precious. Text “CHANGE954” to 954-833-6354 to find out how you can support our efforts to ensure that those who killed Kevin are held accountable.

The last time I was here in 2017, Capitol police were escorting me to central booking for leading a non-violent protest of an immoral budget.
This time they just had to show me to my office.

The people deserve, demand and require $2,000 recurring monthly survival checks.

"Lawmakers need to reform how courts are used to extract money from people who often can’t afford to pay fines and fees," said FFJC's @anydayisnow.
"It's like trying to get blood from a stone. If these projects are so important, just fund them directly.”

It is remarkable what I have seen people say in support of Trump this week and the insurrection in comparison to what those same people have said about people whose driver’s licenses are suspended because they cannot afford their court fines and fines.

I’m tired of stories like this. We must eliminate barriers to financial freedom and keep people from interacting with the criminal justice system as much as possible. A little thing called communication goes a long way!
As it stands, Florida’s system is so broken that most people don’t even know their license is suspended for unpaid court debts until they are pulled over and charged for driving with a suspended license #DrivingOnEmpty #FinesAndFees

Here is the Chair of the @FloridaGOP and elected Representative @JoeGruters organizing buses for the riots.
Yesterday's events did not happen in a vacuum and the violent terrorists who led the riots were aided and abetted by the words and actions of GOP leaders here in Florida.

Debt-based license suspensions serve no one and harm us all. Time to stop taking away a person's ability to work or take care of their family. It's not worth it. #DrivingOnEmpty
