Organized by the Everglades Coalition during Florida’s legislative session, Everglades Action Day brought nearly 40 advocates from across the state face-to-face with lawmakers from 47 offices to deliver a clear, unified message. Driving that impact was Everglades Policy Specialist Caitlin Newcamp, who led and energized the effort from start to finish. Under her leadership, advocates from 91°µÍø Florida, partner organizations, chapter members, and supporters showed up informed, coordinated, and ready to engage. Newcamp not only organized the event — she built a strategic, statewide advocacy push to ensure restoration remained front and center for decision makers.
Together, the participants emphasized:
- The importance of full and sustained Everglades funding.
- The need for balanced water management decisions.
- Investments in resilience and storage projects, particularly in vulnerable regions.
- Protection of critical habitat and support for land acquisition programs.
