The people of Florida drew a line in the sand—and they did it right in the heart of Lee County.

For nearly half a century, Peltier was held captive by a system that sought to silence him, to make an example of him, to break him. But the spirit of the warrior cannot be caged. Despite the injustice, the suffering, and the decades of waiting, his heart remained tethered to the land, his people, and the ancestors who walked before him. Now, at 79 years old, he steps back onto the earth as a free man, carrying with him the prayers, love, and unshakable faith of generations w

If you’ve shown up to a protest in Florida lately—or even just shared one online—you could be on a watchlist. That’s not paranoia. That’s a growing system of surveillance built right here in the Sunshine State to track and intimidate people who speak out.
