The Florida AFL-CIO is calling for participation in the 2025 Working Families Lobby Corps, a program aimed at advocating for policies that benefit working families in Florida. Following the 2024 election results, which did not meet their expectations, the organization emphasizes the need to intensify efforts in supporting workers’ rights and interests.
“The center of that advocacy is the Working Families Lobby Corps,” states the announcement. The program seeks to organize union members and activists to be present in Tallahassee throughout the 2025 Legislative Session. Participants will engage in training sessions, meet with legislators, and attend committee meetings.
“This is not a lobby day event,” highlights the statement, underscoring the importance of sustained pressure on legislative processes over a nine-week session. The message stresses that participation is crucial: “Your participation in the Lobby Corps is more important now than ever before.”
Union members interested in joining can register online through a provided link. For non-union individuals wishing to contribute, they are encouraged to contact via email to collaborate with ongoing efforts.
The Florida AFL-CIO positions itself as part of a larger coalition advocating for economic and social justice for workers. They express enthusiasm about gathering supporters in Tallahassee to continue their advocacy work: “We look forward to seeing you all in Tallahassee and continuing the fight for Florida’s future!”
