- 🏳️🌈 Over 100 people gathered in Miami Beach to express their support for the city's rainbow crosswalks.
- ✊ The rally was a response to a state mandate ordering the removal of colorful crosswalks and street art from public rights of way.
State Mandate and Deadline
- 🗓️ Communities across Florida have a deadline of September 4th to remove these colorful displays.
- 🚫 Failure to comply by the deadline could result in the state removing them or withholding state funding.
- 🗣️ Governor Ron DeSantis has deemed these crosswalks a distraction and dangerous to public safety, a claim disputed by supporters.
Resistance and Activism
- 🚫 Protesters stated they would not stand idly by and that their rights are on shaky ground, especially in Florida.
- 📢 In Fort Lauderdale, supporters marched with signs declaring they would not be erased and are here to stay.
- 💡 Some believe that even if the crosswalks are removed, there will be future opportunities to advocate for larger and more prominent displays.
