from the website: "Since the 2012 death of their son Trayvon Martin in a violent confrontation, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, along with their son Jahvaris, created the Trayvon Martin Foundation out of a need to bring awareness to ending senseless gun violence. By sharing their personal and powerful stories, they have encouraged diverse audiences—from college students and faculty and legal professionals to community and family organizations—to become more educated on ways to keep their loved ones safe and to empower themselves to become catalysts for social change."
