The Tallahassee Urban League led a march of local political candidates and their supporters on Friday, August 16. The get-out-the-vote event happened on the eve of the final weekend of early voting before Tuesday's primary election.
Tallahassee Urban League President Curtis Taylor led off the march from the organization's Old Bainbridge Road headquarters.
"Voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, Social Security, Medicaid, minimum wage, everything will be on the line. And so we got to make sure we get everyone out to vote. That's what this is all about."
The group of a few dozen candidates and their supporters then headed for the highly visible corner of Monroe and Tennessee streets. Among the group, contenders for the Tallahassee City Commission, Leon Schools superintendent, property appraiser, county judge and state senate District 3.
