March 21: A Million Hoodies March for Trayvon Martin – Union Square, NYC @ 6pm [View all]

by InterOccupy Admin on Mar 20, 2012 • 2:47 pm



1 million hoodies, 1 million signatures on Change.org… Show the world we are all Trayvon.


1. WEAR YOUR HOODIE ON WEDNESDAY 3/21 and upload a pic to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #millionhoodies.

3. SIGN THE CHANGE.ORG PETITION – started by Trayvon’s parents. Currently at 530,000 signatures, we can move the needle to 1 million this week!

2. JOIN US IN NYC – Throw on your hoodies and come gather in Union Square to show your support for justice for Trayvon Martin!

A black person in a hoodie isn’t automatically “suspicious”. Let’s put an end to racial profiling!

**WEDNESDAY, March 21st is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

MARCH ON UNION SQUARE!

“We must, individually and collectively, stamp out racism, stigma and prejudice.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Message for the International Day for the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination 2012


CAN’T MARCH? HERE’S OTHER STUFF YOU CAN DO

Send bags of Skittles to the Sanford Chief of Police, demanding that George Zimmerman be brought to justice.

Chief, Bill Lee.
Sanford Police Station.
815 West 13th Street.
