Our Work in Florida

Florida is a key state in politics and a melting pot for faith. Faith in Public Life Florida brings a unique voice into the public sphere by combining faith leader advocacy with strategic planning at the statehouse: fighting for economic justice, equal protections for LGBTQ people and an end to gun violence. We bring people together to live their values out in public life.
