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.
We heard speakers challenge us to hear the Florida farm workers' cry for justice.
