People Power for Florida In Review

With the goal of registering thousands of voters and build a pipeline of new leaders, Representative Eskamani converted her political committee into a voter registration and empowerment organization.

With an initial seed donation of $50,000 from Stan and Kim Van Gundy, the organization has taken off with hiring staff and Organizing Fellows across multiple college campuses. We also have a special footprint in Brevard County thanks to the generosity of a local donor. In addition to registering voters, we’re also volunteering our time and expertise to get abortion access on the ballot in 2024.

In 2022 we were able to accomplish…

  • 5,013: Number of Floridians we registered to vote

  • 646: Number of volunteers who helped us register and get out the vote

  • 620: Number of Vote By Mail Request Renewals 

  • 9,446: Number of Floridians who checked their voter registration status

  • 8,945: Number of Floridians who signed up for election reminders

  • 195: Number of first time volunteers who trained with us

Our Youth Organizing Bootcamps have become a key element of People Power for Florida’s strategic plan. We believe that investing in young people is key to Florida’s longterm success. We’ve also hired for the Fall 2023 Semester five Organizing Fellows across the state to focus on youth organizing and college campuses. We can only do this because of support from people like you, especially as we face the latest slew of voter suppression laws.

In 2022, our People Power for Florida team focused on college campuses and digital organizing. This included:

  • 173 events hosted

  • 195 Volunteer Leaders Trained 

  • 2,113 number of shifts completed by volunteers 

  • 12 campuses that we hosted at least one event, including UCF, FESC, FGCU, FAU, and USF.

Thanks to your support, we hosted three youth organizing bootcamps so far in 2023 and have a fourth Youth Organizing Bootcamp planned at FIU this Fall Semester.

What People Are Saying About Our Work

  • Kristine, Brevard County

    “

    I am concerned about our democracy—and I’d been doing postcards locally—but I’m concerned about election deniers and fair elections. We need more people to register—which is why I do this.

    ”

  • Jeannie, Miami

    “

    Volunteering with People Power for Florida was a great opportunity to meet new people, go to great events and challenge the hopelessness I feel about Florida elections.

We are transforming politics. Together we can transform Florida.

Abortion is On The Ballot Digital Campaign

Thanks to the support of a generous donor, People Power for Florida was able to develop and promote a series of digital ads focused on abortion access being on the ballot in 2022. You can preview some of these ads below. We plan to re-use these collateral materials in 2024 to help get out the vote for abortion access too.
