Lucas Benitez from the Coalitoin of Immokalee Workers speaks to the crowd on Saturday March 5, 2011 as farmworkers from the Coalitoin of Immokalee Workers, religious groups, students and other supporters joined in three simultaneous marches through Tampa, Fla. demanding fair labor standards for farmworkers.

The event was part of a multi-state "Do the Right Thing Tour" organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in which they are asking supermarket chains to support labor reforms in Florida agriculture.
