The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a travel advisory for Florida, alleging increased racism against black people.
The advisory was issued on the board of directors' decision, citing Gov. Ron DeSantis's move to restrict Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in education. The travel advisory claims that his"so-called leadership" has made the state hostile to all non-white and LGBT people.On Monday, DeSantis signed a bill that banned public colleges and universities in the state from allotting money to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
“On a seeming quest to silence African-American voices, the Governor and the State of Florida have shown that African Americans are not welcome in the State of Florida,” it adds. "Once again, hate-inspired state leaders have chosen to put politics over people. Governor Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida have engaged in a blatant war against principles of diversity and inclusion and rejected our shared identities to appeal to a dangerous, extremist minority," Chair of the NAACP Board of Directors, Leon Russell, said.
