WATCH: Florida Priorities Series | Protests, Progress, and Politics

The issue of social justice in communities across Florida and the United States continues to drive demands for change. What will it take to change the racial dynamic in our society as a whole and, in particular, between people of color and law enforcement? The Black Lives Matter rallies have intensified the demand for change. Will that make a difference? We’re presenting an important conversation on social justice in Florida.

So please join us on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 12:30 p.m. EDT
