An anti-transgender law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis put the health of 95,000 Floridians at risk–including hundreds of Walt Disney World Resort cast members. In May of 2023, DeSantis signed Senate Bill 254. The law prohibited gender-affirming care for anyone under 18 but also placed strict restrictions on adult transgender health care. Even though a federal judge struck down the law last month, it stoked fear and disorder among tens of thousands of medical professionals and transgender Floridians.

Georgia State

The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint: A River by Many Names. This extensive river system stretches 430 miles, snaking through three states - Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. In the system's upper reaches, it's known as the Chattahoochee River, flowing through the bustling city of Atlanta. As it meanders southward and forms part of the Georgia-Florida border, it transforms into the Flint River.
