     Since the begin of time, young people have been at the forefront of making a difference. On Wednesday they did just that, The Tallahassee Dream Defenders had a rally about House Bill 1. Over 300 young people were on the zoom to hear what the bill stands for and what they can do to stop the bill from passing. The event started with a series of questions to the audience to see how informed they were with the bill.

      House Bill 1 will give law enforcement and prosecutors tools to prevent violence and property distraction during protests. The bill is sponsored by representative Fernandez and other representatives. The bill will also impose felony penalties on protesters, who will be denied bail and detain them until trial. 

     This year session is completely different for legislative members and lobbyists due to the COVID-19 virus that is sweeping the nation. For lobbyists, it is harder to get issues across to legislators due to not having in person contact with certain legislators and their staff. But Williams has a trick for that, “when we have new Legislators, new legislative aides, and staffers it’s extremely critical to know them because they will be the ones getting the information to the members for the certain bills that I am advocating for,” Williams said.
