manoj — Did you miss our live conversation on Florida's Right to Clean Water?

Friends of the Everglades LIVE recording available now!   Hi manoj,   Thank you to Joe Bonasia, Matt DePaolis, Capt. Cody Pierce and Gil Smart for joining Friends of the Everglades today to discuss the herculean effort to put Florida's Right to Clean Water on the 2026 ballot.   Simply put, elected leaders in Florida have not fulfilled their duty to enforce existing clean-water legislation. All too often, they've compounded the issue by introducing new bills that make things even worse. Gaining an enforceable, fundamental right to clean water would ensure this vital protection for the state's most valuable resource by going above our legislators' heads. As we heard today, it's an important movement that will require hundreds of thousands of signatures from registered Florida voters.     Get involved today. Even if you signed a petition in the past, this renewed effort requires new signatures. Visit https://www.floridarighttocleanwater.org/ to print and sign

On deck today: Do you believe Floridians deserve clean water? Who will be the next $10,000 scholarship awardee? Who are taxpayer-funded STAs working for anyways?     WATCH — EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ADDRESS Lake O discharges: What happened and what's next?   manoj,  Let me start with a big thank you . When we asked you to take action in response to damaging Lake Okeechobee discharges this spring, more than 1,500 of you stepped up and sent messages to water managers. Your messages, and our direct pressure, made a difference. The Army Corps of Engineers — acting on advice from the South Florida Water Management District — announced it would halt harmful Lake O flows to the St. Lucie River, Caloosahatchee River and Lake Worth Lagoon through at least June 1.
