Trayvon Martin is only the latest murder--there must be enough people that we could each carry different photos to a demonstration. Hate groups are on the RISE in this country--they are going after gays, minorities, immigrants, homeless and women. There are people gunning for liberals out there. This is serious--this is not going to get better unless we demand justice and keep demanding that police protect ALL of US.

In solidarity.
