Protesters rally outside Orlando City Hall to oppose war with Iran

Orlando, Fla. — A few dozen people showed up for what was headlined as an Iran peace rally,  Thursday evening outside Orlando City Hall.

Orlando Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani, the first Iranian-American to be elected in Florida, hosted the event with her sister Ida and activist Grayson Lanza.

"The unfortunate reality is that this type of attack actually gives a great deal of ammunition to hardliners in Iran to continue pushing anti-American and nationalistic fervor," Eskamani said in a recent interview with Spectrum 13.

Groups like MoveOn.org, Indivisible and About Face Veterans Against The War have organized the nationwide event calling for #NoWarWithIran.
