Donate here to help send delegation!
The strong response in opposition to the July 13 “not-guilty” verdict for racist vigilante, George Zimmerman — who fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin, last year in Sanford, Fla. – prompted a group of mainly Black and Brown youth activists – the Dream Defenders – to occupy the office of Gov. Rick Scott in Florida’s state Capitol in Tallahassee, on July 16.
The activists are demanding that the governor call a special legislative session to repeal the “Stand Your Ground” law, which Zimmerman initially used as an “excuse” to kill Martin, whom he claimed look “suspicious.”
We must all support their just struggle!
The Defenders are demanding the passage of a Trayvon Martin Act to outlaw racial profiling, the “Stand Your Ground” law and the school-to-prison pipeline policies.
Defenders’ field director, Curtis Hierro, stated, “Rick Scott has awoken a sleeping giant. We are going to work. Dream Defenders call for people around the nation to converge at Florida’s Capitol to join us as we stand our ground for Trayvon.”
Buses are being organized from around the U.S. to converge in Tallahassee in solidarity with the sit-in.
