On June 14, the Committee for the
First Amendment will be hosting Rise
Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First
Amendment, an uplifting evening of
song, solidarity, and action. Featuring
an all-star line-up of performers, this
90-minute concert event will celebrate
the freedoms guaranteed by our First
Amendment—of speech, religion,
press, assembly, and protest—and the
people power that both fuels these
rights and is essential to guarantee them.
Even as authoritarians increase their
attacks on our freedoms and
communities, we see examples across
the country of people rising up
together, taking action, and turning
back those forces.
The event will be streamed with watch
parties all across the country—so
wherever you are, you can sing along,
find inspiration in the performances,
build community, and take
meaningful action together.

It is not a question of whether those in
power will try to steal the elections;
the recent Callais decision makes clear
that authoritarians are already doing
everything they can to grab power and
keep us from voting. Our task is clear.
Fight, win, prove, and enforce free and
fair elections. With that in mind,
Freedom Trainers has revamped
its Noncooperation 101 Training,
to emphasize a focus on
election protection and preparedness.
Join us for a 2-hour virtual training on
civil resistance and noncooperation.
We will cover the authoritarian threat,
how to defeat it, and especially focus
on countering the all-out assault on
our elections and freedom to vote at a
scale matching the severity of the
threat. Participants will leave with
concrete steps for taking action.

We are facing the most brazen
rollback of civil rights in generations.
The same spirit that fueled Selma,
Montgomery, and the March on
Washington lives on in our unified action.

Congressman Lewis, we continue the
fight for voting rights with “Good
Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action
(GTLO)” from July 17-19.

as an attorney, can help provide legal

nationwide voter registration events
in your area.

for Voter Registration, Rallies,
Marches and other Public Events;
Speakers at Teach Ins, Faith Based
Events and Other Events; Election
Protection Hotline Volunteer; Legal
Friend to Grassroots & Voter
Assistance Groups and for Faith

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!

opportunity to hear directly from both
candidates, learn about their plans to
address the challenges Floridians face,

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!
