Individual liberties and voting rights in Florida are at risk. “Shock and Law: Florida Voters Face Election Consequences” takes a hard look at the recent flurry of laws approved by the state Legislature and governor. A journalist panel will discuss a six-week abortion ban, voter suppression, concealed weapons, K-12 school vouchers and targeting of the LGBTQ community. Visit the Hot Topics page for full details.
