Reaction to Trayvon Martin

We all know about the tragic and untimely death of Trayvon Martin. But, I am sure that not everyone is doing their part in solving this issue. Here are some examples of people who were moved by the murder of this innocent young man. 

"The crowds on Granby Street held the symbolic snacks, 
along with homemade signs and t-shirts,
 chanting "No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace!" 
Many children wore shirts that read 'I am Trayvon Martin.'
 and mothers held signs that said 'Trayvon Martin is my son.'" (Source)


Hundreds lined up on Virginia Beach Boulevard to take part in the
 "Hoods Up Rally" in demonstration of the killing of Trayvon Martin. (Source MUST WATCH VIDEO!)


Supporters gathered on Northwest 8th Street for the 
"Hood Up for Trayvon" event to remember Martin and continue the nationwide 
outcry for Zimmerman to be arrested and charged.
Many of the participants dressed in hoodies and carried Skittles and Iced Tea,
 which Trayvon was carrying the night he was killed.
 "He took his life for a reason," said Big Mama to the crowd. 
"And whatever his reason is, it's going to come to justice but the community must come together.
 Lets do this. Amen?"

You can help the cause,too. Spread the word! Try to hold walk, with your hoods up! Anything you can do to spread awareness will help get justice for Trayvon! Don't hold back & don't give up, and Zimmerman will be punished for his terrible crime.
