COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- More than 150 people attended the first Equality March in Naples on Sunday. The event was organized by Collier Freedom, the same group that held the Women's March and Tax March earlier this year.
"I never thought that so many people in the community were living in the closest. We have heard that not just LGBT community, but democrats and progressives you know they didn't think they had a supportive community," said Collier Freedom organizer Karynn Cavero.
Cavero is one of the founders of Collier Freedom. The nonprofit was created after President Trump was elected into officer earlier this year.
"You know things have to happen in order for action to happen so here it is. I don't want say anything negative unfortunately, but it's brought a lot of positively to the county," said Cavero.
On Sunday, the organization held its first equality march in Naples.
"We think those who want to use the bible to hit people upside the head should focus on the verse in Matthew that says love one another, period, no exceptions," said Ft. Myers resident Wes Wright.
