Patti Brigham is a grassroots leader and coalition builder, and the president of the League of Women Voters of Florida. In 2016, in the days following the mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Patti partnered with former LWVFL President Pam Goodman to form the Florida Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, which now includes more than 100 organizational partners.

We discuss her passion for activism and the incredible work she is doing to combat voter suppression during this very critical time.
