A coalition of civil rights and gun control advocacy groups held a demonstration and delivered a cease-and-desist letter to the Governor’s Office Friday afternoon, demanding he and other Florida legislative leaders end what they call “hateful rhetoric.”

While delivering the letter, they read aloud their demand for Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Republican lawmakers to cease and desist their culture war rhetoric.[DOWNLOAD:Reverend RB Holmes with the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee argued the Governor’s priorities and rhetoric emboldened the shooter.

“What this Governor is doing is creating hostility, hatred and disharmony. We come to ask him to change his ways,” Holmes said.“This is a stunt,” DeSantis Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern said.

“And we need to let these folks see our faces and the fact that we’re hurting and the fact that they aren’t doing their jobs. Us legislators work for the people and not corporations and not divisive antisemitic racist groups or folks like that. We need to make sure that we are working to ensure a Florida for all,” Nixon said.

On Saturday morning faith leaders and community activists plan to assemble for a prayer at the Bethel Church in Jacksonville before marching to city hall where they will rally and speak out against hate in Florida.
