Equality, Inclusion & Protecting Civil Rights

Enforce local nondiscrimination protections, expand LGBTQ+ and immigrant-community support, invest in reentry and accessibility, diversify the city workforce, and widen participatory budgeting and multilingual engagement.

SB 168 bars sanctuary-style policy, SB 170 increases litigation exposure around ordinance expansion, and recent state restrictions narrow some publicly funded diversity programming.

Much of this plank is executable through HR policy, accessibility work, language access, and service partnerships. The sharp legal edge appears where the city tries to limit immigration cooperation or stretch local ordinance authority into areas Tallahassee is actively policing.

Her Tallahassee record consistently advocates for LGBTQ+ rights and immigrant-community protections, but state law still defines the city's legal ceiling.

Keep the agenda on enforcement of existing protections, language access, reentry services, ADA compliance, inclusive hiring, and participatory governance while avoiding sanctuary-style directives the city cannot defend.
