Monday, April 9: Day of Absence for Trayvon Martin

'DAY OF ABSENCE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN!'

          Monday, April 9^th, the birth anniversary of the immortal PanAfrikanist humanitarian Paul Robeson, has been declared 'A National Day of Absence for Trayvon Martin!' by the Day of Action Movement.

          The Day of Action Movement, spearheaded by Attorney at War Malik Zulu Shabazz, on behalf of Black Lawyers for Justice and the New Black Panther Party, made the call for the action over this past weekend wanting to propel the community to take that next step in the national battle for justice for Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old Florida youth gunned downed senselessly in Sanford, Florida on February 26^th by a self appointed community watchman, George Zimmerman, who told area police that Martin looked suspicious because he was wearing a 'hoodie'.

          The Day of Absence is essentially a call for the community to withdraw from the economy or to 'boycott' the economy for a day.

          "This is as basic and real as our Afrikan noses on our beautiful faces," exclaimed Baba Zayid Muhammad, the New Black Panther Party's national minister of culture.

          "If the government doesn't want us raising the ante on this issue, as our people have asked us to do, then the government needs to do its job and lock this man up."

          "No work! No school! No shopping" is the call organizers are making very much like Black Solidarity Day vehicle of years past.

          For information about the mobilization, please call 502 229 8530 or visit www.dayofactionmovement.org…
