Justice on Every Block in Orange County

Orange County is in the middle of a housing state of emergency that our elected officials refuse to acknowledge: record-high evictions and rent, wealthy investors pricing our locals, and slumlords abusing tenants with little to no protections. We need elected officials to stand up to wealthy corporate bullies who will put their profit over the lives and health of our people and planet.

Florida Rising is calling on our elected leaders in the City of Orlando and Orange County to make it clear through their votes and policy choices that regardless of your zip code, we all have a right to the things that make us happy, healthy, and whole:

our voice and vote;
control our bodies;
community-led safety;
safe, affordable housing; and
clean air, water, energy, and food that keeps us healthy.

We created our Orange County Justice on Every Block platform as a call to action for our community and local leaders. Will you add your name in support of the Orange County Justice on Every Block platform? Help us reach 500 supporters to show that we have a mandate for urgent action.

Our Orange County Justice on Every Block Platform

To ensure safe housing and ensure that everyone has a roof over their heads:

Ensure the timely distribution of every dollar of federal emergency rental assistance with minimal administrative burden to tenants.
Mandate a 90-day eviction notice period for tenants who are pregnant or have children.
Fund an eviction diversion program in local eviction court.
Commit resources to a right to counsel program that guarantees tenants representation in eviction court.
Acknowledge the housing state of emergency and let voters decide on a one-year rent freeze.
Resource on-call Spanish-language interpretation in eviction court.
Implement housing anti-discrimination ordinances to protect returning citizens.

To address and prevent the use of excessive force and abuse of power by police against Black and brown communities, convene a Citizens Review Board with the power to investigate, subpoena, and discipline police officers.
