Digital activist Sara Haile-Mariam [1] sent me this extremely powerful video she created, which chronicles the 911 tapes that preceded and followed the death of Trayvon Martin [2] and highlights the pervasive violence that plagues black youth nationwide.
The video calls on viewers to tell their own stories and provides them with a hashtag for amplifying their voices—the contemporary equivalent of a soapbox.
#Plan4Trayvon [3] is growing quickly and Plan4Trayvon.com [4] was built as a reaction to that response. This site will chronicle the movement that is not just demanding justice for Martin but also honoring his legacy through individual acts.
