March For Our Lives Jacksonville

Students and others on the steps of the Duval County Courthouse during the March for Our Lives Jax..

Over a thousand students, teachers, families, activists, and many others gathered in Hemming Park for the March for Our Lives Jacksonville. Student leaders and other speakers — impassioned with a clarity of purpose — remembered those lost in Parkland and elsewhere, calling for gun control and other reforms to better protect our schools and communities from gun violence. They also warned legislators who continue to oppose real action that their obstruction would be long remembered at the ballot box. The audience responded with the roar of those no longer willing to tolerate the bland acceptance, misdirection, and placating half measures surrounding gun violence.

January 2018 General Meeting

Ila Rae introduces the Get Out the Vote plan at the January 2018 meeting.

Indivisible Jax Riverside met in January to discuss Get Out the Vote plans for the 2018 midterm elections. This included festivities and an early retirement cake for those legislators supporting and enabling the current administration! We also met Sunny Gettinger, who is considering a run for Jax City Council District 14.

Note that our February meeting is cancelled due to venue scheduling conflicts. We’ll pick up again in March!
