(50,996 posts)11. Thank you. Remember 2 million people signed a petition
for Justice. We can use that power to organize in the name of Trayvon Martin.

mzmolly
(50,996 posts)13. I'm there.
Thanks for sharing. I did not know about that group.
I look forward to becoming more involved, as a result of the unjust murder, of Trayvon Martin.

(82,383 posts)8. More shootings of black men
I'd say more in general but I'm pretty sure this would not have happened to a white kid walking in a neighborhood.

(53,035 posts)9. Certainly not
and if the killer had been black, he'd likely be on death row now. We all know that's true.
