A few seconds before his death the unarmed teenager knew that he was in big trouble.  

The forces against him were just too much for him to handle alone.

A bigger, older, determined man had stalked him, confronted him, and now had a gun pointed at his heart.

He needed help and he needed it now.

Screaming for his life, every breath.

Agonizing, heartbreaking screams for help.

As the late Rodney King put it:

"The horrifying sound of a young black male screaming for his life on a 911 call reminded me of my horrifying scream on a videotape 20 years ago."
His screams went unanswered that night, and we all know what happened.

Trayvon is still screaming.

Will we let him down this time?

One group has already answered the call.

One group of determined young people have taken it upon themselves to right some wrongs, and they need your help.
