Campaign Launched To End Stand-Your-Ground Laws

Sept. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Over 200 cases involving the "stand-your-ground law" have evolved in Florida (including the Trayvon Martin shooting) since the law wen into effect there.

A new non-profit grassroots movement has launched a website and a video campaign across America, calling for the repeal of stand-your-ground laws, which changed the Castle Doctrine in over 21 states.

The website, EndStandYourGround.wordpress.com is intended to advocate, educate, inform, network, and help sustain the movement. A video on YouTube ( http://youtu.be/GOgE0I02rzA ) highlights several Florida cases (including Martin's) involving stand-your-ground laws where unarmed citizens were killed.



The internet activism campaign has a presence on social networks and is also conducting an online survey of how people feel about the controversial laws and also plans to coordinate with other supporters to deliver a unified stand against stand-your-ground through boycotts, petitions, as well as other means to gain support and convince state lawmakers to repeal stand-your-ground laws.
