The oldest historically Black collegiate fraternity in the U.S. says it is relocating a planned convention in two years from Florida because of what it described as Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration’s “harmful, racist and insensitive” policies towards African Americans.

ORLANDO, Fla. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers from the Orlando Graduate Chapter are working to make sure more people are registered to vote ahead of the presidential election in November. The Brothers of the Delta Xi Lambda Chapter are sponsoring a Voter Registration Drive Saturday (Sept. 12) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the JB Callahan Neighborhood Center at 101 N Parramore Ave. in Orlando. The groups slogan for the drive is, Your Voice. Use It, an effort to push more people to register to vote, then turn out to the polls. The voter registration drive is part of the fraternitys national program called A Voteless People is A Hopeless People, aimed at encouraging people to register and exercise their right to vote.
