This year, Florida’s 37-member Constitution Revision Commission (CRC), which meets every 20 years, is convening to review and offer amendments to the state’s constitution.
Some reports indicate that the CRC may repeal two constitutional provisions that provide protections for religious freedom and public education. As a result, Americans United encouraged Florida members, activists and supporters to fight back.
A part of the CRC’s process is holding town hall meetings in various regions of the state. In an April 25 call-to-action email, AU noted four town hall meetings and urged supporters to speak at them to let the CRC know “that the people of Florida want to keep those [religious freedom and public education] safeguards in the Florida constitution.”
The CRC’s process is expected to wrap up in May 2018.
