Citing the Florida 4, a group of reproductive rights activists that are facing up to 10 years in prison for allegedly spray-painting anti-abortion centers following the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year, Pineiro suggests that this issue is larger than firings and students being brutalized on campus. It’s about the freedom to oppose and protest right-wing policies that seek to limit the civil rights of women and other marginalized groups.

“DeSantis has been attacking our rights on every front [since he came into office], and the people of Florida are not being silent about this,” Pineiro says. “We’re seeing protests every day across the state. People who are rightly upset by these bills, who are making their voices heard, saying that they do not agree with DeSantis, and I think that’s why we’re seeing so much political repression happening right now.”
