Meet Anna
I am proud to be taking this next step on my path. My experience in program development and administration has given me the skills of managing budgets, handling human resources, facilitating collaborations and conflict resolution, and learning how to be an effective changemaker in large institutional bureaucracy. These talents, combined with my passion and dedication to this community make me ready for the Alachua County Commission and I am excited about the opportunity to serve my community.
Volunteer
We are hosting volunteer trainings this week, starting Monday eve at 7pm. If you can help get the word out about my campaign and about vote by mail and the Primary August 18, please send me an email (annaforalachua@gmail.com) or a DM and I will send you the details!
As a nation, we celebrate Independence Day because we have been taught that this nation was founded on a principle of freedom for all. However, the truth of our past is that this land was colonized by people - our ancestors - who dehumanized, stole, enslaved and even committed genocide against indigenous peoples from the “New World” and Africa. They used the Doctrine of Discovery as their guide.
As we reflect on the true nature of our past, we must commit to being accountable to our role in it's stronghold on the present - sustaining a legacy of injustice and racism - and commit to changing this for the future.
One of the most important ways we can do this is with our VOTE, and helping others exercise their right to vote too!
We need leaders that are committed to dismantling the systemic racism and injustice built into our laws, institutions, and culture. We need people to stand up and take on the problems borne of oppression as their own. I have been working in the community on education, food access, and economic opportunity for over a decade, and am dedicated to approaching my work through the lens of equity.
This 4th of July, visit votealachua.com to check your voter registration and commit to helping 3 friends do the same. Then, learn more about all the elections coming up and vote Anna Prizzia for Alachua County Commission by August 18th.
Today we honor the lives we stole and the freedom from enslavement they received in 1865. We still struggle to build an equitable community that breaks all systems of oppression deeply steeped in the racism and history of slavery. I am proud that our County is committed to Truth and Reconciliation and to hiring an Equity officer. I will work to uphold and expand this commitment if elected - eliminating policies and programs that uphold disparities and focus on ways to dismantle injustice.
I am so proud to announce that my campaign has been endorsed by the Human Rights Council of North Central Florida, especially during Pride Month!
