Miami, FL – In the wake of the Florida Supreme Court’s rulings to put abortion on the ballot and trigger a Rick Scott-endorsed ban on abortion before most women know they’re pregnant, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is launching the Florida Freedom Tour.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell will travel across the state to talk about the fight for freedom and hold Rick Scott accountable for his unapologetic and proud support for Florida’s near-total abortion ban with almost no exceptions for rape or incest.

“If Rick Scott thinks that he can push a national abortion ban in the Senate and back a near-total abortion ban in Florida without facing any consequences, then he has another thing coming to him,” said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. “As a Latina, I’ve seen these authoritarian attacks on our democratic rights before. And I won’t allow Rick Scott to take away our freedoms. I am proud to stand with the nearly 70% of Floridians who support protecting abortion access, and I’m ready to show up with them this November as we fight to protect our fundamental rights.”
