Wear a Hoodie Monday April 2 for Trevon Martin and a New Cuture

Dear friends and family,
On Monday, everyone, please WEAR A HOODIE in solidarity for TREVON MARTIN AND HIS PARENTS and family and friends and alll young people of color who get judged by their skin and how they dress. They aren't free to wear hoodies and saggy pants like white kids, or walk to a convenience store and home carrying skittles and ice tea....Please let us show together we believe in a new culture, a new world where anyone can wear a hoodie without fear and judgement and racism that kills and demeans us all.

The college students at UWRF are doing this and I'm inspired by them and ask you all to do this and pass the idea on..... we need to transform our culture from one that eats up of our youth....we need to model a world we want....
