February 26, two years since the modern day lynching
of Trayvon Martin, eleven days after a Florida court refused to convict racist
Michael Dunn for the murder of Jordan Davis. Wherever you are, put on your
hoodies, get people together, print out these targets, and gather at the seats
of power and influence or go to the public square. Stand together in silence,
hoodies up, fists raised, holding targets. Be part of creating a powerful visual
image and stand of defiance that goes out around the world.
On
Wednesday, February 26, join with people in your city or town. Put on a Hoodie
for Trayvon, hold a target with the message of “No More” for Jordan and all the
Black and Latino youth who this system views as suspects. Defiantly represent
that we refuse to accept a target being put on the back of every Black youth in
this country, we refuse to accept the declaration that Black people have no
rights that white people are bound to respect.
February 26, make a
difference. This action can break the paralysis by being the first national
action against the mistrial of the murderer of young Jordan Davis and linking
this outrage to the fight for justice for Trayvon. Be a part of puncturing the
lie that there is nothing we can do -- that we must accept this nightmare. Join
with hundreds nationwide standing up to the murder of Black youth declaring that
we are determined to stop it.
Don’t let your action be a secret from
the world at large. Take pictures of yourselves, post them
https://www.facebook.com/stopmassincarcerationnetwork and send
them to
stopmassincarceration@gmail.com and spread them
everywhere.
