The Floridians for Immigrant Justice (FLIJ) campaign believes that storytelling is a powerful strategy for mobilizing Floridians toward immigrant justice because it humanizes the struggles that immigrants are currently facing. This hands-on training is meant to equip community members with the tools they need to share their immigrant stories. In this safe space, we’ll go over what makes a good story and how you can use yours for impact.

After this training, attendees will be able to connect with others through their stories, tailor their messages to different audiences, and use the power of stories as well as the emotions they elicit to inspire action. The Art of Storytelling training can also be helpful for allies who wish to help immigrants share their stories. The training will not be recorded.

On Thursday, April 7, join the Florida Keys Chapter of the ACLU of Florida and the Florida Keys Chapter of the National Organization for Women for an important panel discussion on reproductive rights and abortion access in Florida.

Reproductive rights: Crisis in Florida
Thursday, April 7, 7 - 9 p.m.

In-person: Harvey Government Center, 1200 Truman Ave # 207, Key West, FL 33040
Online via Zoom: Upon registration, you will receive an email with the details about joining the event

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 519 abortion restrictions have been introduced in 41 states so far this year. During this year's legislative session, Florida extremist lawmakers passed House Bill 5, (HB 5) a 15 week abortion ban. Our panelists will discuss HB 5, and the myriad of abortion bans state lawmakers are enacting across the country. These efforts to restrict an individuals decision about whether and when to have a child is a part of a coordinated attack as the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that our constitutional right to abortion is at greater risk than ever before.

Panelists include:

  • Kirk Bailey, political director, ACLU of Florida
  • Lauren Brenzel, statewide organizing director, Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates
  • Aurelie Colon Larrauri, Florida State policy advocate, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice

This event will also serve as the Florida Keys Chapter's annual meeting.

Please join us in-person or virtually. RSVP below to let us know if you can make it.
