This Monday, CASA de Maryland, the state’s largest Latino and immigrant organization, will join a march and rally hosted by the NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Action Network, and hundreds of Maryland activists to condemn the murder of Trayvon Martin and  call for the prosecution of George Zimmerman. 

“We mourn the death of Trayvon Martin,” said Gustavo Torres, Executive Director of CASA de Maryland. “Racial and ethnic harassment is just one of many symptoms of the unfinished business of the civil rights movement that Latinos share with our African-American brothers and sisters.  We weep for Trayvon and call for the prosecution of his murderer.”
