BOUQ:

Sulzbacher’s new Urban Rest Stop Social Services Bus. A joint venture between Sulbacher and the City of Jacksonville, the mobile unit was designed to bring “Hosing and Hope on Wheels” to anyone experiencing homelessness in Downtown. Available services include housing placement and case management. The bus is in addition to Sulzbacher’s Healthmobile which provides outreach health services.

 

BRICK:

Gov. Ron DeSantis for requesting data on transgender students who sought gender-affirming care at Florida’s public universities. While the data will not include information identifying individual patients (as per HIPAA regulations), this is still an extremely troubling action as many believe DeSantis may be gearing up to cut public healthcare funding to transgender individuals, further proving his despicable treatment of and discrimination toward the LGBTQ community in our state. Governmental deviance comes to mind along with abuse of power as governor, not to mention, a few other things.
