Jason Garcia - Monthly General Meeting
Leu Gardens, 1920 North Forest Avenue, Orlando, FL, USJason R. Garcia is a Florida journalist on corporate accountability who has his own blog called “Seeking Rents.” He is the author of “Big Profits, Tiny Taxes,” which exposed how corporations dodge taxes, and a 2021 series tracing dark-money used in a “ghost candidate" election scheme.
Recently he covered how Senate Bill 180, a piece of legislation passed in 2025 that was ostensibly meant to help communities recover from hurricanes and ensure that Floridians could rebuild their homes and businesses was actually widely exploited by developers — with assistance from the DeSantis administration — and used to knock down local growth-management laws across Florida dealing with wetland protection, flood control, rural preservation and more.Room opens at 6:45 for socializing or gathering. Program begins at 7 pm.

Book Club: August Selection
Great Southern Box Company Food Hall, 2105 N Orange Blossom Trail,, Orlando, FL, USThe Sierra Club Central Florida Book Club series continues with a look into the future.
In August, we will be reading the fast-paced novel The Future by Naomi Alderman. This climate fiction set in the near future explores themes of technology, climate change, survival, and what morality means when the world is on the line. Join us for conversations about the book in a relaxed setting.
We encourage RSVPs so we can get an idea of seating needs. Book club discussion will run from 7:00–8:00 PM. The food hall closes at 8:00, so we will wrap up right around then. If you plan to purchase food or drinks, feel free to arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 PM.
