The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday, saying the state has become “hostile to Black Americans” under Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) leadership.
“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,” the travel advisory reads.
“Due to this sustained, blatant, relentless and systemic attack on democracy and civil rights, the NAACP hereby issues a travel advisory to African Americans, and other people of color regarding the hostility towards African Americans in Florida,” the group added.
The advisory points to several of DeSantis’s controversial policies, including legislation he signed on Monday to prohibit colleges from spending public funds on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Today, Equality Florida issued an unprecedented travel advisory, warning LGBTQ+ people and allies to suspend travel due to its recent passage of laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community, restricting access to reproductive health care, repealing gun safety laws, and fomenting racism. They cite the impact of recent rises in anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes and the passage of laws that could be used to target travelers and residents alike. They state that Florida may pose a risk to the “health and safety” of impacted communities traveling to the state.
The risks of travel are particularly heightened for transgender people, as several bills and laws there could directly target their rights and access to healthcare. This is especially true for people with trans youth, due to laws moving that could interfere with preexisting child custody agreements and a weaponized state court system. Institutions are being used to significantly target transgender people in schools, places of work, and in media institutions.
The travel advisory joins other organizations that have concurrently issued travel advisories. The Florida Immigrant Coalition and the NAACP Florida have both requested or issued travel advisories as well. Florida already occupies the highest risk category on my own transgender legislative risk assessment map.

The NAACP Board of Directors issued a travel advisory Saturday for the state of Florida, urging people to avoid the state.
The advisory comes as a direct response to what the Board says is an "aggressive attempt to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools" by Governor DeSantis.
The formal notice from the group states, "Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color."
