FCC's Citizen Advocacy Program was inspired by Senator Bob Graham's experience as an elected official and the citizens who affected his policy positions while in office. We believe in the importance of citizens building personal relationships with their elected officials, and using that familiarity to more effectively advocate for the environment.

“Engaged, skilled, and passionate citizens are the strongest protection for natural Florida. I am very proud of the scores of Floridians who have become advocates for the many natural treasures of Florida. For those lands, waters, birds, fish, and animals you are protecting, thank you.”

— Senator Bob Graham
