Once again, the nation has indulged in what is now an all too familiar “great debate” following the Michael Dunn – Jordan Davis verdict. Impacted by polarizing views surrounding the justice system and racial biases that pertain to people of color, the United States is divided on what the terms “justice” and “prejudice” really mean.

With what seemingly appears to be an overwhelming barrage of fractured and broken civil liberties, “black” and “brown” or  in clearer terms African Americans are coming together to make an undeniable stand for justice and against prejudice.  Across the nation, African American clergy, civil rights leaders, business owners and concerned citizens will be mobilizing to protest and challenge judicial biases regarding people of color and the poor under a new campaign titled, “The Self-Defense Campaign.”

The “Self-Defense” rally will begin at 9:30am on March 10, 2014 at The Tallahassee Leon Civic Center located at 505 W. Pensacola St. Tallahassee, Florida and they will march to the Tallahassee State House where the national “Self-Defense” campaign will be launched.  Attorney Benjamin Crump, the parents of Tryavon Martin and Jordan Davis will open the rally with remarks. The “Self Defense” rally is being led by Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant of the Empowerment Movement with support from local and national African American Clergy, Civil Rights organizations and leaders in the community.

The Self-Defense Campaign announced participants and supporters include: Attorney Benjamin Crump, the parents of Trayvon Martin, the parents of Jordan Davis, family representing Marrisa Alexander, Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant, Empowerment Movement President, Tom Joyner, Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host, Representatives from The National Bar Association, the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, as well as concerned citizens will join Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant to petition the Florida State Legislation and roll-out a national strategic “Self Defense” reform strategy.

Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant, the pastor of Empowerment Temple and President of the Empowerment Movement has sounded the alarm to make an undeniable stand for justice to protest against blatant prejudices in the justice system.
