May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We want to remind everyone that mental healthcare still needs to improve for people inside Florida’s prisons and jails, people without a place to call home, and for people with disabilities. Follow to see us keep pushing for access to mental healthcare.
While lawmakers continue to stall on basic protections, people in Florida prisons are suffering in deadly heat. FJI filed a lawsuit regarding conditions at Dade Correctional Institution because we’ve seen how this heat harms people and takes lives. See the full article at linkin.bio/fji
Housing is the first line of defense during a housing crisis. Despite this fact, the City of Miami just rejected a proposal aimed at curbing housing insecurity. We need policy that prevents displacement at the source. Read the details on this decision at linktr.ee/fji.law
Great news in our ongoing case alongside the Southern Legal Counsel to stop the panhandling laws in St. Johns County: the ordinance will no longer be enforced! This is a huge win for fighting against laws that punish poverty. See the full press release coming soon on our website FJI.law

Today we honor the people who gave their lives in service to this country. Honoring them can mean more than flags and ceremony. It should include ensuring veterans have housing, healthcare, and resources when they need it. The gap between the rhetoric and the reality is where harm can happen.
Michelle and A.J. went to the University of Miami School of Law to connect with students who are looking to build a career in public interest law. It was inspiring to meet so many young people who are excited to help others and do the work. Learn more about our work and opportunities at FJI.law

What was the most life changing book you've ever read? Mine led me to a self discovery. #booksky #authorsky #bookishquestions #asexuality
QUINTESSENTIAL TRUMP GRIFT—just like the wall Mexico never paid for, he’s sticking taxpayers with the ballroom bill. He shook down Fortune 500s for hundreds of millions; now, like his library fund, that money will vanish into his pockets. It’s public theft in plain sight—with Graham as the bag man!🤦🏿♂️

The success of Pauline Hanson's One Nation in Farrer isn't a major shift in Australian politics, it's just a reshuffling of the deck chairs on a right-wing Titantic that's kept afloat by bigotry and grifting. #auspol #Insiders #OneNation #neoNazis #Farrer

So Democrats were all for ensuring Iran didn't get a nuclear weapon as long as Trump wasn't the one to do it? Imagine hating someone so much that you would rather see everyone fail. Join the party that wants America to succeed. Vote Republican!
Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.
