The Apopka Town Hall took place at the John Bridges Community Center. There is a large hall with small classrooms surrounding it. The hall was decorated with Equal Voice for America's Families Banners and posters. There were 28 round tables set up in the hall, each covered with paper for participants to write on. Each table had colored post it notes and white flip chart paper.

Tirso Moreno, General Coordinator of the Farmworkers Association and Margarita Romo, Executive director of Farmworker's Self-Help co-moderated the Town Hall. They welcomed everyone and went through the room asking folks from the different areas to stand.
Testimonial came from a member of Acorn who talked about housing problems - lending practices, the lack of available affordable housing, etc. Check out the photos - click here.

A community where everyone has a good home, that is safe and where there is no violence; it would be where my children have a good education, where there is no racial people, also a house to live with clean water and clean environment .A job where I can earn enough money to support my big family. Driver’s licenses, education for immigrant children who graduate (Dream Act), better jobs, healthcare for everyone, pesticides, transportation, housing, violence, drugs, more police, better wages, and immigration.
