Sunday – May 24 – 2:00 to 4:00 pm

People Power for Florida, GenCleo,
and Youth Action Fund are on a
mission to build a youth movement of
students and alumni from campuses
across the state that vote in every
single election and build a Democracy
that works for everyday people –
Not Billionaires.
When we engage with students on a
year-round basis on the issues that
matter to them, we can turn agony and
helplessness into real meaningful
action and turn sporadic & inactive
voters into active voters and
disruptors. This is why we are starting
EARLY in 2026 knocking student
doors and making our case for why
NOW is the time for students to rise up.
Never knocked doors before? No
worries! Our team will provide you
with all the training you need as well
as pairing you up with an experienced
canvasser – so you never have to
knock doors alone!

Help Engage New Volunteers and
Forge New Community Connections!
Do you want to help grow Florida
LGBTQ+ people power and connect
with other members of the
community? Pride month is here, and
that means we’re recruiting more
volunteers than any other time of the
year. That means we need dedicated
volunteers like you to help ensure
these new volunteers are
plugged into the work!
We will be calling newly registered
volunteers and helping them navigate
their journey as a volunteer. Since
phone banking is vital to the growth of
any movement, this is an excellent
chance not only to meet like-minded
peers and build queer people power,
but also develop valuable skills
for activist work.
We will be providing free food and drinks!!
Don’t have experience phone-banking?
No problem!
Whether you’re a veteran phone
banker or have never tried it, we
NEED your help! We will provide
training for inexperienced phone
bankers to ensure you start
making calls with confidence!

2026 FLORIDA LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Equal Ground On The Ground: 2026
Legislative Session Debrief Tour –
Hillsborough County
Following the conclusion of Florida’s
2026 Legislative Session, Equal
Ground and partners are taking the
conversation directly to the people
through our On The Ground
Legislative Session Debrief Tour, a
statewide effort to ensure our
communities are informed, engaged,
and prepared for what lies ahead.
This nonpartisan event is designed to
break down what happened during the
legislative session, what new laws and
policy changes mean for everyday
Floridians, and how these decisions
will impact our communities,
particularly Black communities and
other historically underrepresented voices.
Through this gathering, participants will:
-Receive clear, accessible updates on
major legislation passed
during the session;
-Understand the real-life impact of
policy decisions on voting rights,
education, criminal justice, economic
opportunity, and more;
-Engage directly with policy experts,
community leaders, and advocates.
Learn how to stay civically engaged
and prepared for the 2026 election
cycle, including updates related to
district lines and redistricting
More than just a debrief, this event is a
call to action, equipping individuals,
faith leaders, and community
organizations with the tools and
knowledge needed to organize,
mobilize, and make their voices heard.
At Equal Ground, we believe that
informed communities are empowered
communities. The On The Ground
Legislative Session Debrief Tour
ensures that what happens in
Tallahassee does not stay in
Tallahassee, but reaches every corner
of our state.

Come out and canvass with Dr. Neil
Manimala and be part of building a

everyone. Neil is running because he’s
seen firsthand how rising costs,
traffic, and lack of access to care are
holding families back and he believes
real change starts with showing up
and listening to our neighbors.
Join us as we knock doors, have real
conversations, and connect with
voters about creating a more
affordable, accessible, and healthy
community. Whether you’re a first-
time volunteer or a seasoned
organizer, there’s a place for you on
