Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein visited the Gainesville, Florida area on April 30 and May 1, meeting with supporters at a house party in Alachua 0n 4/30 and participating in Gainesville's May Day rally and march the next day, before flying off to campaign in Maine. The Gainesville Sun covered the May Day rally (see "Hundreds join in May Day rally, march" http://www.gainesville.com/article/20120501/ARTICLES/120509939) which was organized by the International Socialist Organization (ISO), Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the Alachua County Labor Party, Occupy Gainesville, and other student and community groups. The initial gathering on the corner of University Avenue and 13th Street (where this video was taken) held a rally and then marched, led by a spirited contingent of Radical Cheerleaders, down University Avenue to Bo Diddley Community Plaza. A police escort accompanied the marchers. (See the video of the 2012 May Day March - Gainesville Florida).
