The Stand Your Ground Laws in Florida have proven to be fatal for young innocent black boys. We as caring, conscious and loving Americans can no longer standby as these laws are used to terrorize our children and innocent citizens. The State of Florida benefits tremendously from our vacation dollars and the educational dollars gained from the admissions of our children. Now that it has become apparent that the safety and security of our children can no longer be guaranteed. And proper prosecution of the individuals who endanger their lives is no longer of importance to the governance of this state, we as the residents of this great nation boycott the State of Florida. Withholding our financial contribution to its commonwealth until the "Stand your ground laws"are completely repealed.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have chosen to lend their energy to this cause. It still feels surreal to see so many strangers coming together to demand fairness for our children. This momentum belongs entirely to the community that stepped up to speak out.
