After the thrilling passage of Amendment 1 last Nov 4, there are obstacles we face in implementing Amendment 1: special interest groups that didn’t help pass Amendment 1, but now want to influence where the money will go. They are urging legislators use Amendment 1 to fund water supply development projects that could further deplete our water resources, to bail out developments that have neglected their own wastewater infrastructure needs, and to push projects that fuel irresponsible growth in Florida’s vulnerable natural areas.

That’s not what Amendment 1 is intended to do.

If you haven’t already, please email the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation.  Send a direct email to the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation.
Please don’t delay. The Florida Senate has already received more than 1,000 comments (and counting) – we need to be sure our voices are heard! Encourage your friends and family to do the same.

As committed as we were to placing Amendment 1 on the ballot and seeing it get passed, we are now committed to defending it from special interests who aim to divert funding away from conservation.

We encourage your to meet with your legislators. There is nothing more impactful than a face-to-face meeting with your own state senator or representative to discuss Amendment 1 and its implementation.
Please visit our Legislative Action Page today! email the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation.
There you will be able to:
1. Locate your State Senator and Representative.
2. Download Amendment 1 talking points, past and future conservation projects in your region, and the percentage of Yes On 1 votes in your district.
3. Send a direct email to the Senate Committee on Environmental Preservation and Conservation.
4. Send us your meeting information so that we can supply you with any additional information or background you might need.

Meeting with your lawmakers is the THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do right now to ensure that Amendment 1 funds are implemented according to the intent of 4.2 million voters and thousands of volunteers who worked on the Amendment 1 initiative.
If you haven’t already made an appointment with your lawmakers, make one today!
We are fighting this battle on many fronts–digitally, by phone and mail, in person, through lobbying with our coalition partners at the Capitol, and through grassroots efforts. We have many voices advocating on our behalf and many tools in our toolbox to ensure that the intent of Amendment 1 is honored. We need to keep up the pressure for the next couple of months, because this year, this legislative session, will set the tone for the next 20 years, which is the lifespan of Amendment 1. Please do whatever you can to help us win this battle, for future generations and for Florida.
