What it reported doing in 2018

We the People of Florida will facilitate the activities of a coalition of individual Florida citizens and Florida organizations ("the Coalition") who are observing the work of the 2017-2018 Florida Constitution Revision Commission (CRC).

The Coalition has been tracking the work of the CRC and endeavoring to educate the public about this important work. It has also been communicating with the CRC about that work and sharing those communications with the public by distributing them to members of the press, members of the public, members of the Coalition organizations and others through personal meetings and electronic communications.
