Controversy Surrounds Florida Travel Warnings from Various Groups

Florida Senator Rick Scott issued a "formal travel advisory" for "socialists" visiting the state after the NAACP issued its own travel advisory warning Black people about the perils of visiting a state that has become a bastion of far-right policy. The NAACP warning comes just over a month after Equality Florida, one of the state's leading LGBTQ+ organisations, issued a travel advisory for LGBTQ+ visitors. The travel advisories highlight the extent to which civil rights groups are alarmed by Florida's political trajectory under Governor Ron DeSantis.
