PFAW Foundation: Young People For Supports Florida Dream Defenders' Courageous Sit-In
Arriving at the Florida Capitol just a few days after George Zimmerman was acquitted, the group of 60 young people known as the Dream Defenders is pushing for a special legislative session to take up a Trayvon Martin Civil Rights Act which would repeal the state's Stand Your Ground law and address racial profiling, the school-to prison pipeline, and more. Among the many young people in Gov. Scott's office is Dream Defenders leader Phil Agnew, a 2005 graduate of our affiliate PFAW Foundation's Young People For (YP4) leadership development program, as well as eight to ten other current or former YP4 Fellows.
