Parkland parents and Pulse survivors called for increased activism at a rally in front of Orlando City Hall last night. LGBTQ representatives and Latinx community members like Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith called for more people to vote in upcoming elections.

He also called for an executive order from Governor Rick Scott that would effectively ban discrimination against LBGTQ people in the workplace.
