Florida Capitol Building
Everglades Action Day
Since 2012, Floridians have celebrated Everglades Day on April 7 in honor of legendary Everglades activist Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ birthday. The state’s support for Everglades Day ensures that the ecosystem remains a top priority for elected officials. The Everglades Coalition celebrates Everglades Day by mobilizing to Tallahassee for a Day of Action in the State’s Capitol during the Legislative Session.
During our 2025 Everglades Action Day, we had 40 meetings with a legislator or their staff and dropped off 20 leave-behind packets – we reached a total of 60 offices in just a few short hours!
