Text message about Florida's rollback of child labor laws

Opportunity for All Floridians sent this text message to our audience after the Florida House passed a law rolling back decades of Florida’s child labor protections. Our research suggested that many everyday Floridians did not believe that the legislature would do something like this, so we opened our messaging by saying, “YES, THIS IS REAL.” This text asked readers to reach out to the Florida Senate to ask them not to pass the final bill. Unfortunately, the bill did pass and was signed into law on March 22, 2024.

🚨 BREAKING from Opportunity For All Floridians: The Florida Legislature just voted to roll back decades of child labor protections. H.B. 49 would loosen child labor laws and allow corporations to exploit kids to work minimum wage for overnight shifts and for longer hours, even during the school day.

✅ The bill must go through the Senate before going to the governor's desk. Write your lawmakers NOW and tell them: Our kids deserve a quality education that will put them on the path to success, not child labor exploitation:
