We're tired of queer censorship. Are you? We're tired of queer censorship. Are you? Learn more about what's happening, why it's important, and how you can #SavePRISM . What's happening? On January 6th, 2022, PRISM's Instagram account (@prism.fl) was deactivated without warning due to "suspicious activity." After exhausting all automated support options (there is no direct support line for Instagram, Facebook, or their parent company, Meta), we have been unsuccessful in restoring our account thus far. Even after attempting to make a second account (@prism.lgbt ), it was flagged and deactivated within 30 minutes . Instagram has always been our home for educating, networking, and fundraising. PRISM receives almost half of its individual donations through Instagram, a platform that we use to reach tens of thousands of youth every day . As an LGBTQ-led organization, our staff and volunteers have personally been no stranger to online bigotry and censorship from overzealous algorithms. Queer people have long been the target of homophobic and racially motivated attacks, and now we face something much more dangerous: Big data and AI have made social media algorithms homophobic and racially motivated, too. Now PRISM, an organization that has never had a community guidelines violation on Instagram before, has been forcefully removed from a platform that we use to create a lifeline for thousands of young people. Update (2/16/2022): After much persistence, we were able to get our original account (@prism.fl) restored! Thank you so much to Frederick from OutYouth for getting in touch with a Meta team member on our behalf and working to restore our account. However, our fight doesn't end here. Queer censorship is a global problem and it happens every day. We'll be using #SavePRISM until March 29th to continue raising awareness. Please keep sharing the hashtag #SavePRISM to support this fight. How can I help? We cannot sit by and allow the vital work we do to be snuffed out by automated systems and corporate apathy. That's why we're reaching out to you for help. Use the hashtag #SavePRISM on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok to share a story about: How PRISM has impacted you A social media platform refusing to put a stop to homophobia towards you or someone you know, or Content you've made being taken down simply because you discussed queer topics For every story you share between February 1st and March 29th (PRISM's birthday), these organizations, individuals, and businesses will donate $1 to support our work to make South Florida for every color and for everyone: Lombucket Ltd Sarah Bruso Maxx Fenning CJ Walden And more! In all, our current donation pledges total $1,200... and we're only three weeks into our campaign! Not only does your participation support the work that we do, but it also sheds light on just how important that work is. How do I join the pledge? Do you, your organization, or your business want to join the pledge to #SavePRISM? To join the pledge and have your name featured on our "I Support Queer Youth" list, send an email to info@prismfl.org with the subject "#SavePRISM Pledge" and the following: The name of you, your business, or your organization Your maximum total donation pledge (optional) Whether you'd like to be featured publicly on our "I S upport Queer Youth" list A picture of you or a logo for your business or organization (optional) For every story shared with the hashtag #SavePRISM , you'll donate $1 to PRISM (up to your maximum pledge amount).

< Return to Voting Hub Trans & Non-Binary Voting Guide Equality Florida's Information for Trans & Nonbinary Voters Florida requires voters to present photo identification at the polls, which can create additional barriers for transgender and nonbinary voters due to bias, misapplication of Voter ID laws, and heightened scrutiny over state-issued identity documents. Understanding your rights and what to expect at the polls – particularly in the wake of recent agency actions that seek to restrict transgender and nonbinary Floridians’ access to accurate and affirming IDs – is critical to protecting your right to vote on Election Day. Denying Eligible Voters a Ballot Over Gender Identity or Gender Marker is Illegal Florida law requires every voter to present a photo ID that matches the name listed on their voter registration in order to vote at a polling place. While many transgender Floridians have updated their state-issued IDs to reflect their affirming gender, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has recently been prohibiting gender marker changes on driver’s licenses that have already been issued. Transgender Floridians who have not been able to update their IDs may encounter additional questions at the polls, but poll workers cannot prevent eligible voters from voting because their gender identity or expression does not “match” the photo, name, or gender marker on their ID. ● Poll workers should not scrutinize a voter’s gender marker to verify their identity, and cannot prohibit an eligible voter from voting because they think the voter “should” look a certain way or have a certain gender marker on their ID. ● If a voter’s name and address, as listed on their voter registration, matches the name and address on their photo ID, they have fulfilled Voter ID requirements and are entitled to exercise their right to vote. ● Voters may choose which form of photo ID they wish to present to poll workers from the 12 accepted types . It may be helpful to bring additional forms of photo ID and a utility bill showing your address. ● Florida requires every voter to sign a Voter’s Certificate. While signatures change over time, the signature used on the Voter’s Certificate must reasonably match the signature the Supervisor of Elections has on file. If you’re concerned about your signature match being verified, you can update your signature at the County Supervisor of Elections office, either in-person or by-mail. Ensure Your Vote is Counted ● Check to ensure your voter registration is active and accurate. We recommend that you check your registration and make any necessary updates online –like updating your name if you’ve recently had a legal name change–by October 7, 2024. ● Voting-by-Mail may be the safest option for many Floridians, including transgender and nonbinary voters. Due to recent changes in Florida law, all vote-by-mail ballot requests expired as of Jan. 1, 2023, and must be requested again. You should not assume you will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot if you have in the past. You must request a Vote-by-Mail ballot by October 24, and can do so online through your county’s Supervisor of Elections website . You may mail your ballot or drop it off in-person at the Supervisor of Elections office, Early Voting locations, or other designated drop-off sites, avoiding interactions with poll workers. Your ballot must be received by 7 PM on Election Day. ● If you prefer to vote in-person on Election Day or during Early Voting and are denied a regular ballot, request a provisional ballot. If you are forced to cast a provisional ballot, call the National Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
