Wire/StoryDescription:
Protesters from different sides of the political spectrum gathered in Miamis Brickell neighborhood to voice their opposition to Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, hours before he officially launched his 2024 presidential campaign

The group of more than 100 demonstrators marched to the Four Seasons Hotel on Wednesday afternoon in the hours before his anticipated talk with Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces

Protesters said the last thing they want to see is a DeSantis presidency

What we are fighting here in Florida is Ron DeSantis vision for America in 2024, said Kaity Danehy-Samitz with Womens Voices of Southwest Florida Weve seen a mass repeal of human right, from LGBTQ children, abortion restrictions, anti-immigrant legislation Theres no affordable housing Hes not tackling the issues that real Floridians face

The governor has held a supermajority in the Florida Legislature and has been able to pass the Parental Rights in Education bill, known by critics as Dont Say Gay, which led to a public battle with Disney over the companys opposition to that law

DeSantis has also backed a six-week abortion ban and battled what he has called a woke agenda

It has cost Floridians way too much Our property insurance costs are going up, utility rates are rising, folks cant afford their homes, said Jasmine Burney-Clark with Equal Ground Florida He has stripped away the use of Vote-by-Mail boxes and the wide accessibility that was provided before

These are reservations that were echoed in the crowd that showed up Wednesday

Im here because DeSantis has created really terrible laws for teachers Hes made it difficult for us to do our jobs, said a demonstrator

Hes banning abortion, hes banning books, said another demonstrator

The group marched past an equally vocal Blacks for Trump group The profanity flew from both sides

In addition, dueling rolling billboards one for Donald Trump, but both against the governor circled past the hotel repeatedly

Were here to make a statement, said a protester
