It's go time in Atlantic Beach! After being stalled for nearly a year, next Monday, July 14 at 6:30pm, the Atlantic Beach City Commission will vote on a nondiscrimination ordinance for the first time. WE ANTICIPATE A VERY CLOSE VOTE AND NEED A SHOW OF STRENGTH.

Commissioner Maria Mark and Mayor Carolyn Woods have been standout champions bringing this issue forward after months of delays. Monday's vote in Atlantic Beach is critical for all of Duval County, because if passed, it would be the first city in Duval County to protect the LGBT community from discrimination. In the days leading up to the vote, we want commissioners to hear from pro-equality supporters like you.
Three things you can do to help:
1) Send an e-mail to the commissioners to let them know you support the nondiscrimination ordinance by clicking here: http://eqfl.convio.net/site/R?i=k2XMw0r0uldW_ymXMunU3A
2) Attend the meeting next Monday, July 14th! Pro-equality supporters have been attending commission meetings for months asking the city commissioners to take a vote on this issue. We need you to show up again on Monday night because a vote will take place. Wear your best red shirt to show your support for the nondiscrimination ordinance, and make sure to get there early so you can get a seat! Address: Atlantic Beach City Hall, 800 Seminole Rd.
3) Volunteer: Now is the perfect time to build our grassroots efforts! Sign up to volunteer by clicking here: http://eqfl.convio.net/site/R?i=1D5JX5Ckf5AvXlgdEwVB2Q
