Sunshine 100 is a Florida-based cross-partisan non-profit network dedicated to promoting free, fair, and secure elections, reducing political polarization, and strengthening democratic principles across the state.
In partnership with The Carter Center and the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club, Sunshine 100 organizes public forums and panel discussions.
Key Aspects of the Partnership
Purpose: The collaboration focuses on promoting civic engagement, cross-partisan dialogue, election integrity, and peaceful democratic processes in Florida.
The Carter Center's Role: Drawing from its international and domestic election standards expertise, the Carter Center works alongside local organizations to foster trust in democratic institutions and advocate for election transparency.
Suncoast Tiger Bay Club's Role: Serving as a prominent non-partisan civic forum in the Tampa Bay area, Tiger Bay hosts panel discussions and town halls to connect voters with policy experts, election officials, and community leaders.
Sunshine 100's Role: Founded and advised by a bipartisan leadership group (including former Florida State Representative Jennifer Webb and other local leaders), the initiative mobilizes Floridians to bridge political divides.
These joint events typically bring together election administrators, scholars, and civic leaders to discuss voting access, trust in election results, and ways to support election workers.
