DESCRIPTION:Emergency Meeting on Trayvon Martin\n(Note: previously scheduled meeting 
 has been postponed) \n\nJoin us to discuss the situation regarding the 
 murder of Trayvon Martin and where to go from here. \n\nOn the Murder of 
 Trayvon Martin!\nStatement by the Revolutionary Communist Party, USAOn 
 February 26, 2012, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin went out to buy some snacks 
 at the nearby 7-Eleven. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain in 
 a small gated community in Sanford, Florida, was driving around in his SUV. 
 Zimmerman called 911, saying Martin looked "real suspicious"-i.e., he was a 
 young Black male, walking around in a hoodie. After the 911 dispatcher told 
 Zimmerman not to pursue the youth, Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin, got 
 out of his car and then confronted Martin. Zimmerman was carrying a 
 9-millimeter handgun. Trayvon Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles and a 
 can of iced tea. There was yelling, then a gunshot. Trayvon Martin lay face 
 down in the grass with a fatal bullet wound to the chest. Zimmerman was 
 taken into custody, questioned and released. To this day, he has not been 
 arrested and charged with any crime.\n\nIt is very good and very important 
 that people, not only in Sanford, Florida, but all over the country, are 
 outraged by the murder of Trayvon Martin and are making their outrage known 
 in many different and creative forms of protest. It is also important that, 
 in connection with the murder of Trayvon Martin, the memory of Emmett 
 Till-wantonly murdered by white supremacists decades ago-is being raised to 
 express the fact that people have seen this go on for far too long and will 
 not stand by to see it happen yet again.\n\nAt the same time, the fact that 
 yet another Emmett Till moment can arise-that yet another outrage of this 
 kind can take place-today, more than 50 years after the original Emmett 
 Till lynching, and that this murder of Trayvon Martin is not an isolated 
 incident but only the latest of an endless chain of such acts that are 
 perpetrated, condoned and covered up by the powers-that-be, shows very 
 powerfully that, this time around, we must not settle for anything less 
 than stopping this, once and for all-we must build a movement to really and 
 finally put an end to these and countless other outrages that spew forth 
 from this system, by sweeping away this system through revolution. This is 
 deadly serious and we must take this up very seriously.\n\nRevolutionary
