Rebekah Jones is Fired Up
Posted on June 16, 2020 |

Rebekah Jones is fired up. Especially since she got fired.

She worked for Florida’s department of health, creating a dashboard for access to information about COVID-19 cases and a “scorecard” for each county, measuring how well it was meeting the goals Florida had said were needed for re-opening the state.

The politicians didn’t like the results. So they told her to change the numbers, to make it look like the state was ready to re-open. She refused.

Hooray for Rebekah Jones!

She got fired. Florida started to re-open. Here’s the latest data from Johns Hopkins University:



Rebekah Jones could see that Floridians need access to information, not manipulated lies but the truth. So she made her own website. Check it out! It’s awesome. While you’re there, make a donation. She’s doing this for free, just to help people.

Hooray for Rebekah Jones!
