?Our thoughts are with Trayvon Martin?s family, who unfortunately will never have their son back. This is a true American tragedy for every child, mother, father, brother and sister in the nation. This is a reminder that our communities still find themselves profiled, targeted and oppressed each day. The battle for true Justice in an unequal society is never simple. Florida has taken another one of ours. We must hold on to our anger in the face of the injustice and let the feelings of love for our community push us forward in fixing our broken society. We will never forget his name.
Dream Defenders are building in cities all over Florida taking on the criminalization of our youth, private prisons, and poverty. This is our problem to fix. If you?re ready to work, join us.?
