"One of the burdens of being a black male is carrying the heavy weight of other people’s suspicions. One minute you’re going about your life, the next you could be pleading for it, if you’re lucky. And far too many aren’t. That’s why the Feb. 27 26 killing of Trayvon Martin has black parents around the country clutching their sons a little closer."-Jonathan Capehart, Huffington Post

Enough is Enough, When will a black life be valued like any other American's life? When will we demand our Human Right to not be Convicted, Tried, & Executed on a street corner?? TODAY IS THE DAY!!! Sign this petition and pass it around! After 10,000 Signatures I will send to the Justice Department with a formal request for a case be opened up into the Death of Trayvon Martin. I am tired of our young black men be slaughtered by the hands of both police & civilians and nobody ever getting UPSET about it!...
Don't just be UPSET...ACT...SIGN THIS PETITION AS WE GET THE BALL ROLLING FOR JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON!!!!!!
We, the Undersigned, call for the United States Attorney Generals Office, to open a formal case investigating the death of Trayvon Martin on the grounds we believe he was racially profiled against and inevitably the victim of a Hate Crime.
