The protest ends at Porters Community, which is Gainesville’s second oldest Black community. Kaith, 24, a Dream Defenders member, raises a gloved fist in the air at the conclusion of the protest. “I am really impressed with the amount of people who have consistently been showing up,” Kaith said “This work is for everyone. Organizing is absolutely necessary, building relationships with our community is absolutely necessary.”
