Afterward, members and attendees traveled to the Lemon City Library to cast their votes on the last Saturday of early voting.

A block party rounded out the afternoon, with food, music by DJ Spinelli, and speeches from Shariece Wright of the Florida Immigration Coalition, immigration and economic justice activist, Laura Pierre; members of Power U, and Queen Yonsada.
