All Across the US, Calls for 'Justice for Trayvon'

Over 100 US cities will hold “Justice for Trayvon" vigils Saturday

Over 100 US cities will hold "Justice for Trayvon" vigils Saturday at federal court buildings across the country.

Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and Martin's brother, Jahvaris, will attend a rally in New York City, along with Sharpton. Martin's father, Tracy Martin, is attending a vigil in Miami.

With the vigils, organizers are trying to build momentum for the Obama administration to file federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman.
