CIW TRUTH TOUR OF SOUTHEAST BEGINS IN GAINESVILLE SEPTEMBER 22

                                        Candy Herrera and Marihelen Wheeler lead the march down NW 34th Street

We began with a rally at Westminster Presbyterian Church, where Rev. Larry Green is pastor.  Westminster youth led by Rev. Paige Porter-Buhl and United Church of Gainesville (UCC) led by Rev. Andy Bachmann made signs and banners.
