a lot of focus here in orlando on workers' rights, yes there were lots of flags - mostly u.s. (passed out as march began) as well as from various central and south american nations, most important - for me - was that the *vast* majority of folks were working people, lots of signs about labor justice, speeches emphasizing worker rights/justice, reflects - i think - the fact that principal organizers locally were farmworker association of florida, jobs with justice, acorn (a fourth, latino leadership, is more of a community service org)...
the orblando slantinel quoted my friend, sister ann kendrick of the farmworker ministry, saying that 'it was a great day. I've never seen anything like it in my 35 years in orlando'...
absolutely, mh
