Its good to see some activity in this state. I didnt get to make it out but hopefully this isnt the last march against backwards policy in the area.

The College and Young Democrats showed up at the initial speeches and had their city commissioner candidate stump at the podium...then they melted away as the protest march moved on and were nowhere to be seen. :glare:

Yeah I don't think "Fight Back Florida" had any one organizing in Naples. You should PM me about this.
