Human rights advocates say people are being forced to work for little or no pay on some Florida farms.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers hosted a rally and a play at the state capitol Monday. The play depicted two migrant slaves being beaten and chained to a truck. About 50 members of the coalition traveled to Tallahassee in to ask the governor to step up efforts to stop slavery. They never got a chance. Marc Rodrigues a member of the Student Farm Workers Alliance said the state needs to do more because people are suffering.
