'We Are the Storm,' RNC Protesters Chant

Protesters, armed with signs and a message, marched through downtown St. Petersburg as Isaac threatened to put a damper on the Republican National Convention.

Hundreds of protesters called for a higher minimum wage and an end to corporate tax breaks during the "99% march" in downtown St. Petersburg Sunday night.

Participants marched from Mirror Lake to the Tropicana Field with signs that stated, "Corporate Greed has a face in Florida," "Greedy Old Party," "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" and more.
