Take action!

Justice Should Not Depend on Skin Color

To Members of Congress:
The tragedy of Trayvon Martin and his family is a symptom of the pervasive racial prejudice in our justice system. We urge you to pass the End Racial Profiling Act without delay to help get racial profiling out of law enforcement.

As long as you have majority white juries and judicial officials, no amount of laws will fix the problem. There needs to be firm quotas for minorities on EVERY jury, ESPECIALLY in the South. The Martin case shows a black man will NEVER get the justice he deserves at the hands of whites.
