Political Action

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that to make their voice heard by politicians, they have to put their money where their mouth is. And so the United Faculty of Florida makes campaign contributions to politicians to help make our voice heard.

Florida has a right to know

The State of Florida has just launched a Florida Has a Right to Know : Holding Government Accountable site listing salaries of all state and university employees.

The fall 2012 election will be critical at all levels, local, state, and federal, and we strongly encourage everyone to get involved.

Get Registered and Get Out the Vote.

The last two years have seen the greatest concerted effort to discourage voting since the abolition of the Jim Crow laws in the 1960s. This fall, it is especially important to get registered in time. DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED: MAKE SURE.

Here is our flier on Getting Out the Vote.

And here is the Florida Department of State.

Voting is not a privilege - it's a right. And a responsibility. Insist on it. And know your rights.

State and Local Elections.

The radical and irresponsible behavior of the last legislature calls for major reforms - and more responsible candidates willing to support education. Meanwhile, we are all too often negligent about local elections. But city councils, judges, school boards, county commissions, and other local officials have a powerful effect on our lives. Take the time to study the candidates carefully.
