Subject Line: Vote NO on HB 1193 – Protect Local Freedom and Economic Dignity

Email Body:

Dear Representative [Last Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I’m a Florida resident from [City/ZIP Code]. I’m writing to urge you to vote NO on HB 1193 during the Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee meeting on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 8:00 AM.

This bill would ban guaranteed income (GI) programs statewide—stripping local communities of the freedom to create solutions that help residents afford rent, food, childcare, and medical care. GI programs promote economic freedom, public health, and stability, especially for low-income families, caregivers, and workers.

Even more concerning, this bill lays the foundation to eliminate all forms of direct cash assistance, including popular and proven programs that help vulnerable Floridians through crisis.

Please don’t take that power away from our cities, counties, and people.

I urge you to stand with your constituents and vote NO on HB 1193.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
