The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for those choosing to travel to Florida — citing laws that the organization said restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The NAACP Board of Directors issued the formal notice in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools.
The notice states:
"Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."
FOX 13 Tampa's Josh Cascio joined LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss the impacts of the travel advisory.
