Weekly Update #40
Dear Members and Advocates,
The message of this week’s update is “Support”. Whether you are seeking support, offer support, or have knowledge of support resources, we need to hear from you. Please submit a referral using the new “Add a Resource” form on the Resources page at https://floridaactioncommittee.org/resource-referral-submission/.
With the help of our County Coordinators, the FAC ADMIN team will reach out to each referral and ask if they want to be listed publicly on the FAC site or remain private and available only to FAC Admin for specific referral requests.
We are seeking resources in all counties for Housing, Employment, Attorneys, Therapists, Polygraphs, Recreation/Gyms, Food Banks, Worship Centers, Support Groups, and any other service that you know will help or benefit our members and their families.
FAC especially wants to recognize the wonderful therapists in Broward, Polk, Hillsborough, and Sarasota that have opened their offices to loved ones of registered citizens, so that they could share experiences and address the issues of the Registry that they, too, live each day. Additional sessions are scheduled in Tampa on August 23rd and Central Broward on September 7th. See the Reminders below for more information.
Coming together for support is a benefit of membership in Florida Action Committee. You should never feel alone. Local teams are growing in each county and we need to grow our database of resources, too.
Let’s continue to work together to make each day less stressful, and find ways to appreciate life, family, and the world around us.
With Unity Comes Change

I didnt know where to post this but another one protecting and serving probably harassing everyone on the registry took the easy way out
A San Diego police sergeant who was arrested for allegedly soliciting a minor for sex was found dead from an apparent suicide inside his apartment Monday, police say.
Authorities found the body of Sgt. Joseph Ruvido, 49, inside his Carmel Valley apartment at 4:24 p.m. on Monday after he failed to show up in court for his 1:30 p.m. arraignment, San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said at a press conference Monday night, NBC San Diego reports.
A 21-year veteran of the force, Ruvido was arrested on July 26 and charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor after he allegedly set up a meeting with a minor — or a person he thought was a minor — for sexual purposes and then followed through by coming to the arranged meeting, say police, the Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union-Tribune report.
He was also arrested on suspicion of attempting to commit lewd acts with a child between the ages of 14 and 15, the outlets report.
Poet Justice!!!
