This article is about a group of congregants in New York at the Middle Collegiate Church wearing their "hoodies" during service as solidarity to the Trayvon Martin shooting. It then goes to outline the reporters thoughts about Bobby Rush's U.S. House of Representatives speech about the topic on Wednesday. At first the reporter was not getting the idea, and then realized that this is a grand display of public outrage and solidarity for the murder. He then goes on to outline and quote the pastor about how much social networking is having an impact on defining issues today.

Thousands of protesters including some big wigs at the NAACP took to the streets this weekend demanding the arrest of Zimmerman.

"Speakers at the rally said they were committed to non-violence and that Martin's death served as a wake-up call on issues such as the abundance of weapons on the street, the level of violence in U.S. society and the struggle for racial equality.

"It is not just racial profiling. It is bank profiling, healthcare profiling," Jackson said. "The disparity in this country is growing. ... There is a meanness in our country today."

There was also talk or boycotting the city of Sanford, but these rumors have been denied.
