Danielle Chanzes, a 26-year-old organizer with the Legal Empowerment and Advocacy Hub, reads aloud the name of every prisoner currently held within Alachua County Jail Monday. Protesters yelled and played on drums and other instruments after each name was called. Chanzes’ boyfriend was held in Alachua County Jail from October 2018 to May 2019 and she says this motivated her to stand up against the injustice she saw in the prison system. “People are innocent until proven guilty and cash bail takes away that presumption of innocence and so by posting bail for people today we are restoring that presumption of innocence. We are reuniting families.”

Gainesville can be a music titan, but only if it stays weird
(12/02/18 7:11pm)
Gainesville is considered a progressive music hub. I’m not sure what factors play into making a city more “hipster” than others, seeing as it’s a pretty subjective descriptor, but I’m not complaining. Maybe that's accounting for how many successful musicians have hailed from Gainesville. In that case, we have Tom Petty, Stephen Stills, Benmont Tench and Don Felder, to name a few. So I can see how we’d top the list. Or maybe they take into consideration the current state of music and art within Gainesville.
