Democrats,
Another successful Leadership Blue is in the books! It was an incredible weekend of celebrating how far we’ve come in our fight to Take Back Florida and the work still to be done on the path ahead of us toward Election Day.Florida Democrats united over a thousand strong for a weekend of panels, workshops, and town halls designed to prepare us on the road to election day. From panels on gun violence prevention and reproductive rights to town halls uplifting the voices of people of color, Leadership Blue 2024 was a time to engage in the issues most affecting the Floridians.We unveiled our new mascot, the Florida Panther, and to open the gala, Brevard School Board member Jennifer Jenkins starred as Senator Katie Britt in an SNL-style spoof to hold Florida Republicans accountable.Every panel, guest speaker, and conversation exemplified that when Florida Democrats come together, magic happens. At our biggest event of the year, Florida Democrats showed out and proved that Florida is worth fighting for.To our wonderful volunteers for helping make this conference so special, and to all our attendees, thank you for a magical weekend. We will see you next year!
