A national movement is surging — and Miami-Dade is answering the call. On Saturday, March 28, thousands of South Floridians will gather at Tropical Park at noon for the No Kings Rally, joining communities in every corner of the country to say clearly and loudly: we will not be ruled by fear, cruelty, or the unchecked ambitions of any one person.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has grown into something far larger — a sustained, peaceful national resistance to authoritarianism, spreading from small towns to city centers and into every community determined to defend democracy. Our movement is bigger than ever, and it keeps growing.

As the Florida Legislature prepares to close out Week 4 of its 2026 Regular Session, 1799 bills have been filed, around half of which will receive at least one committee hearing, and perhaps 300 of which will pass both Senate and House chambers. At the same time nearly 3000 special appropriations requests have been made for local projects ranging from drainage improvements to senior support services to workforce training to cultural venue subsidies. Most of these projects will not make it into the budget, and for those which do, some will fall to the Governor’s veto pen. All, however, represent the hopes of local governments and organizations to impact the lives of neighbors and nearby communities.

The Florida House and Senate, which already quickened their pace last week, are slated to crank into high gear over the next few days. The Senate has now passed and sent to the House its top-priority items regarding rural economic development and education reform, while the House has reciprocated with several of its own, starkly distinct, priority proposals on firearms access, fetal rights, and rolling back environmental protections. Only the Senate has scheduled a floor session for this week, but committee agendas in both chambers are packed. Here’s a brief look at ten key bills affecting local voters–the no-brainers, the culture war fodder, and the policy puzzlers–on the legislative fast track:
