Anna Eskamani issued the call-to-action for this Friday. “This Friday, Jan. 29, SEIU and all of us here want you to send a message to Gov. Ron DeSantis,” she said. “You can email, you can tweet, you can call. We basically want to make sure that there’s an actual people’s budget presented. That we hold the governor accountable and the legislature accountable to prioritizing you and your needs.”
