Show Notes
Floridas Senate Bill eleven thirty-four threatens to defund diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, including St. Pete Pride, by banning local governments from using taxpayer money for such initiatives. The bill, which awaits Governor Ron DeSantiss signature, could impact events like St. Pete Pride, which receives around three hundred thousand dollars from the City of St. Petersburg. Supporters argue it stops wasting public funds on divisive programs, while critics worry it could chill support for cultural celebrations. The law wont take effect until January first, two thousand twenty-seven, but local officials may reshape event funding in anticipation.
