Locals march for pride and unity
Thousands of people across the country participated in a national equality march today. Supporters took to the streets in down town Palm Springs for a local march.
Supporters met at Frances Stevens park in Palm Springs to discuss causes like disability rights, immigration, health care and LGBT rights.
“I think its important all of us in Palm Springs come together and express how important it is to make sure LGBT rights are preserved. They (LGBT rights) are under attack. We gained many gains in the last administration and we need to preserve those,” Linda Middleton, a pride advocate, said.
Many supporters agree, resistance is key in the fight for equality.
“We have a federal administration that is threatening our neighbors and our own rights. So we need to come together and that’s what this march did,” another supporter said.
