“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead

In August 2012, the Jacksonville Human Rights Ordinance was rejected by City Council. The measure would have expanded the city’s human rights ordinance to protect gays and lesbians from discrimination. In fall 2013, three local community advocates Chevara Orrin, Dan Bagan and Laura Riggs created an ally ad campaign to raise awareness and encourage support of comprehensive, non-discrimination protections across the State of Florida.
