Seventh Avenue has a reputation for being the backdrop for radical political activity<\/a>, from the 1937 Antifascist Women\u2019s March<\/a>, to a recent re-enactment <\/a>of it, and of course last Saturday\u2019s People\u2019s Pride Coalition march.<\/p>\n

Organized in part by the Tampa chapter of Students for a Democratic Society and the Tampa Immigrant RIghts Committee, the action started and ended at Centennial Park in Ybor City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meant to acknowledge the hiatus that Tampa\u2019s big Pride parade is on<\/a>, a press release said the march also hoped \u201cto raise awareness of pinkwashing that is often put onto the LGBT community to justify imperialism, and to also show that pride can happen in Tampa without corporate sponsorships.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
