On July 16th, just days after George Zimmerman was acquitted after killing an unarmed, teenaged Trayvon Martin, a group called the ‘Dream Defenders’ took a stand against Florida’s Stand Your Ground law by occupying the state Capitol. They have been conducting a sit-in of Governor Rick Scott’s office in the Capitol for 8 days and 10 hours at this writing. The group of mostly college students and young professionals are calling on the Governor to convene a special session of the legislature to enact “Trayvon’s Law”, which would repeal the Stand Your Ground law, ban racial profiling, and end the school-to-prison pipeline. The Dream Defenders are a human rights organization.
