U.S. racism led to the murder of 17 year old Trayvon Martin; from the police to the courts, the capitalist system continues to protect racist murders.
In 2012 George Zimmerman gunned down Trayvon Martin because he was a Black youth in Amerikkka. The capitalist system has protected Zimmerman ever since. Masses of workers wanting “justice” protested to have Zimmerman tried for the racist murder of Trayvon Martin.

Once the bosses’ system is smashed, the need to divide the workings class and super exploit some will no longer exist. Only then will we be able to smash racism, sexism and all other anti-working class ideas. This is the fight of the Progressive Labor Party. Join us!
