Eva Marcille, Kevin McCall and Chris Brown are among the high profile YBF celebs who are taking a stand and lending their likeness to the #FORTRAYVON campaign. See the photos inside.....
Photographer Kawai Matthews (above, left) has captured the newly launched #ForTrayvon Campaign. For the photoshoot, Chris Brown, Meagan Good, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Dawn Richard and hot YBF couple Eva Marcille and Kevin McCall each raised their hands in memory of Trayvon.
According to their press release, the launch of www.FORTRAYVON.org and its #ForTrayvon social media campaign was spearheaded by I AM READY Foundation founder Jason Lee to directly benefit The Trayvon Martin Foundation to assist in creating awareness of how violent crimes impact families of the victims and provide much-needed support for those families.
Jason spoke about the foundation saying,
"I launched my foundation to create programs that would address the issues that seemed to constantly plague my community. After my brother's murder, ending senseless violence was at the top of the list. As a witness of his murder and a victim of gun violence myself, I understand implicitly the pain that is felt daily by families and communities like Trayvon Martin's."
While some celebs participated in protest rallies around the country, and others, like Mary Mary have joined Stevie Wonder to boycott the state of Florida's Stand Your Groud Law, it's just good to see our celebs speaking out and using their fame to make a difference in any way they see possible.
