NEW YORK — Hispanic Federation has issued the following statement in response to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision reversing the 2022 District Court’s decision that declared most of SB 90 unconstitutional:

“We are beyond disappointed by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision. Reversing the district court’s decision means that voter discrimination and voter suppression will be lawful in Florida. The ongoing attacks by the state legislature on the rights of immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and the black and brown residents of the state of Florida make it clear that this is another attempt at diminishing our collective rights,” said Laudi Campo, Hispanic Federation’s Florida State Director. “We will not cower, we will not run away. What we will do is keep challenging the attempts by the state to trample on our rights, and we will continue our work to ensure that Latinos in the state can exercise their right to vote without fear.”
