Governor Ron DeSantis signed a proclamation declaring Nov. 7 as the first annual Victims of Communism Day in Florida.
Florida is home to millions of individuals who fled communist governments to seek freedom. To honor those who suffered under these despotic regimes, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 395 into law on Nov. 7, establishing a day during which Florida’s students will learn about the atrocities committed by communist regimes and of the millions who were persecuted and lost their lives under communist rule.
