As Florida legislators take aim at the rights of workers, LGBTQ+ Floridians, undocumented immigrants and reproductive healthcare at the behest of Gov. Ron DeSantis and corporate interests, hundreds rallied in Orlando on Monday to uplift calls to protect the dreams and freedoms of their communities. The Orlando “March for Our Dreams and Freedoms,” was organized by a broad coalition of labor, social justice and immigrant rights groups at Lake Eola Park. Less of a protest and more an act of peaceful resistance, the march was a celebration of the City Beautiful’s diversity of the arts — featuring poetic performance, youth theatrical performances, the Orlando Gay Chorus, dancers and local drag performer Angelica Sanchez.
