NCNW Calls for Justice for Trayvon Martin
Like millions around the world, NCNW calls for the immediate arrest and prosecution of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. As mothers, sisters, aunts, and loved ones of young men who are far too often targeted unfairly due to the color of their skin, we refuse to sit idly by while yet another of our sons is senselessly murdered as his attacker still breathes free.
We urge our membership to engage in swift action in support of Trayvon. Participate in demonstrations, write letters to the editor of your local newspaper, and if in Florida, demand action by your elected officials.
