Sunday marks the 1-year anniversary of the Zimmerman verdict, which declared George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a decision that still stings, and speaks to a deep-seated injustice in the U.S.
Which is one reason Million Hoodies Movement for Justice has been working on gun violence prevention with young people, not police. Here’s why. - CM

"Very recently I had a conversation with Cornel West in my house. I shared with him that people kept asking me when Obama first ran did I think it would make a difference in lives of Black males. I said yes, symbolically. On issues of illiteracy, poverty, the sense of meaning of Black males, no. I saw Obama having great ties to the wealthy and the sustaining of the wealthy.

By passing voter ID laws, conservative legislatures are denying the franchise to those who have fought hardest for it.
Last week, I participated in the New Organizing Institute BlackRoots NewMedia BootCamp. I had the privilege of joining 31 organizers representing communities of color from across the country to be trained in online organizing. As part of the training, each organizer was placed on a team to develop an online fictional campaign over the course of the week. For this boot camp, we developed a campaign around the issue of voter suppression.
Million Hoodies Movement for Justice is a national organization working to protect and empower young people of color from racial profiling and senseless gun violence through creativity and innovation. Million Hoodies was formed in 2012 after a video which helped generate global support for the arrest of George Zimmerman. We are now calling for young people interested in putting an end to gun violence and racial profiling through direct action organizing, creative technologies and communications to join our network. In 2014, we'll be working on divestment campaigns from gun manufacturers and look to confront Stand Your Ground laws.

GenYNot hosted a special show in partnership with Plus Social Good and the United Nations Foundation. We were joined by Shelton Mercer, CEO of TwitChange and Dante Barry of The Roosevelt Institute.
We changed it up a little this week and told the stories of different social good initiatives from across the globe where youth are the driving force!
Watch the show and learn about how to get involved with the initiatives below.
EARLY POLLS: 1% REPORTING, BOB MENENDEZ WILL WIN NEW JERSEY WITH 60%
As of 9:09pm, New Jersey is still struggling to keep up with electronic voters. Hit the refresh button or follow @dantebarry for the up-to-the-minute results as more precincts report. Scroll to the bottom for recent updates.
Today, the Great Super Tuesday, and almost ten days after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, the country will look to New Jersey to see who comes out to vote.
The office of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently announced that they will allow voting by email and fax for voters who were displaced by the hurricane, designating them as “overseas voters”. Given the situation of power outages, floods, and displaced voters, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno said, “To help alleviate pressure on polling places, we encourage voters to either use electronic voting or the extended hours at county offices to cast their vote.”
Voters who decide to opt-in for electronic casting, must email or fax their ballot to their county clerk, who determines qualifications for a provisional ballot. Once ‘approved’ the clerk will electronically send you your ballot and a “waiver of secrecy” which will allow polling officials to print and confirm the ballot. Applications for electronic provisional ballots must be received by 5 p.m. and all ballots themselves must be submitted by 8 p.m.
It’s quite simple, I just did it! If folks in New Jersey can find access to power to submit a few electronic correspondences. The question for today, however: will Hurricane Sandy be a setback for the New Jersey voter?
A new national poll shows that President Barack and Governor Mitt Romney are in a dead heat with 48 percent of voters. Two percent of voters were interested in a third-party candidate while another two percent remain undecided.
In this poll, Obama leads among women, young people under 35, and Latinos. Romney is head among men, independents, and whites. In 2008, New Jersey went blue and elected Barack Obama president.
What’s to come of today’s election? It could be a toss-up.
Be sure to research how you can vote before you head to a polling station or submit your electronic ballot!
UPDATE: 1:16PM Governor Christie ripped Governor Romney’s campaign aides at a news conference this morning about Hurricane Sandy recovery.
He said, “All this other noise, I think, are coming from know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers who — you know — don’t like the fact that I said nice things about the president of the United States. Well, that’s too bad for them.”
But that’s not stopping Governor Christine from ensuring that New Jersey voters are casting their ballots today. The state has taken every measure to make sure those folks displaced by the hurricane were able to vote, such as allowing “authorized messangers” to pick up a number of requested mail-in ballots.
Less than 100 polling stations in New Jersey are without power, outside the 800 stations available day ago. That’s not stopping New Jersey voters:
In Little Ferry, N.J., 25-year-old construction worker, was the first voter to arrive, 13 minutes before polls opened. The storm claimed his apartment and car.
“It’s important because it’s our day,” he said. “No matter what happens – hurricanes, tornados – it’s our day to vote.”
UPDATE: 4:55PM
What pollsters are saying right now about the presidential:
Karl Rove: “Without twelve toss up states (MN, NV, CO, IA, WI, MI, OH, PA, NH, VA, NC, AND FL), Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are tied at 191 each. I predict Mr. Romney will win FL (29), NC (15), VA (13), NH (4), OH (18), IA (6), CO (9) and Mr. Obama will get MN (10), NV (6), WI (10), MI (16), PA (20). This brings Mr. Romney to 285 Electoral College votes and Mr. Obama to 253. These are just my base predictions and I still think several of these states are too close to call. For example, while I put them in Mr. Obama’s column, I still believe NV, WI, and PA are in play and very winnable for Mr. Romney. If crowds at his recent stops in these states are any indication of his supporters’ enthusiasm, Mr. Romney will likely be able to claim victory in these states as well.”
Nate Silver: “Among 12 national polls published on Monday, Mr. Obama led by an average of 1.6 percentage points. Perhaps more important is the trend in the surveys. On average, Mr. Obama gained 1.5 percentage points from the prior edition of the same polls, improving his standing in nine of the surveys while losing ground in just one…All of this leaves Mr. Romney drawing to an inside straight. … [I]n poker, making an inside straight requires you to catch one of 4 cards out of 48 remaining in the deck, the chances of which are about 8 percent. Those are now about Mr. Romney’s chances of winning the Electoral College.”
UPDATE: 4:57PM BREAKING NEWS: New Jersey extends online voting to FRIDAY due to polling problems; you would have had to apply by 5:00PM today to submit your application. Calling for voter infringement.
UPDATE: 5:16PM With problems facing New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are we finding problems at the polls that could cost this election?
UPDATE: 7:17PM New Jersey‘s decision to extend voting until Friday for displaced Hurricane Sandy voters is said to be due to an overwhelming number of applications for mail-in ballots and need more time to process. Allowing displaced voters to cast their ballots electronically while many still do not have power may not have been the best decision to execute on for this election. During Hurricane Sandy preparations, Governor Christie’s office should have been more thoughtful on emergency voting alternatives, with power outages in consideration.
With Google’s new tool: Politics & Elections, Romney has a 4+ lead over Obama, with 8-3 electoral votes respectively.
UPDATE: 8:21PM Despite electronic voting problems, Barack Obama claims New Jersey — claiming 14 electoral votes.
UPDATE: 9:04PM U.S. Senate race

WHO WON THE ELECTION: IN PENNSYLVANIA, OBAMA AND BOB CASY TAG TEAM FOR WINS
The results are in, and Barack Obama and Bob Casey win in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
With 84% reporting on Real Clear Politics, President Barack Obama wins the state’s 20 electoral votes with 53.7% of the vote, moving him a step closer toward re-election. As of 11:15, the election was called for Obama by several news outlets.
The incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey, the son of namesake political leader, wins 55.5% over Republican candidate Tom Smith with 82% reported. Earlier today, it was projected that Casey would hold a 5+ point lead.
Both the presidential and senatorial race in Pennsylvania were close with the U.S. race arguably being the most contested in the country.
For Pennsylvania voters, the economy was the big issue in this election cycle. This could lead to other states like Ohio to lean blue with job creation being a major focus in this election.
Turnout was high with 70% of Pennsylvania’s nearly 8.5 million voters at 7:05 p.m. this evening. Controversy emerged today with some voters turned away due to the state’s newest voter identification law. Quite a stir today where electronic voting machines malfunctioned: where a voter’s intended selection was incorrectly processed:
For the Romney and Smith Pennsylvania campaign, they may feel like this right now:

FINAL ELECTION RESULTS: PENNSYLVANIA RE-ELECTS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER! Barack Obama and Bob Casey win in Pennsylvania. At 11:23PM polls are reporting that Barack Obama will be re-elected for his second term as president. Hit the refresh button or follow @dantebarry for the up-to-the-minute results as more precincts report. Scroll to the bottom for recent updates.
The state of Pennsylvania has been in quite some controversy over the course of the 2012 election cycle. According to some conservatives, voter fraud has become a rampant problem, enabling state legislatures to pass laws to require voters to show state-issued identification before casting a ballot.
This guy doesn’t seem to agree:
All eyes were on Pennsylvania and its voter ID laws, until Commonwealth Court Judge Robert E. Simpson Jr. declared that voters without a government-issued photo identification can be allowed to cast their vote. This case is allowing thousands of communities of color, young people, the poor, and the elderly to get out the vote in this year’s election.
Pennsylvania is a key swing state in election 2012, so the result of Obama vs Romney could hold major implications nationwide for the two candidates as they seek to win the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House. Outside of the presidential race, however, arguably the most contested race this year is Bob Casey (D) and Tom Smith (R) for U.S. Senate. Casey is the namesake son of the former elected official, and he comes from a background in labor organizing.Smith is a Tea Party conservative supported with millions of dollars that he’s made in the mining industry.
With polls showing favorably towards Bob Casey with a 5 point lead, it would seem that Pennyslvania folk are too kind on campaign ads and money in politics.
UPDATE: 1:15PM There are reports of people being turned away from the polls for not having a photo identification in Pennsylvania. If you are a first time voter in PA, then you must show proper ID. If you are not a first time voter, then you do not have to show ID at the polls. You should not be turned away; if you are, then immediately call Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
With voting ending at 8pm EST today for Pennsylvania, polls are showing that Barack Obama will be re-elected with 303 votes; Romney, 235 and the Democrats maintaining control of the Senate, 53-47. Not sure how that fairs just yet with the Bob Casey and Tom Smith race. We shall find out.
UPDATE: 4:21PM
Voting machines are altering votes in PA.
UPDATE: 4:27PM
What pollsters are saying right now about the presidential:

Those are now about Mr. Romney’s chances of winning the Electoral College.”
UPDATE: 7:03PM In just in one hour the Pennsylvania polls will close. We have strong voter turnout and more reports are coming in with faulty voting machines. Turnout is expected at 70 percent of Pennsylvania’s nearly 8.5 million voters. The fight for 20 electoral votes is as close as ever. On Google’s new tool: Politics & Elections, Romney has a 4+ lead over Obama, with 8-3 electoral votes respectively.
UPDATE: 7:40PM Pennsylvania exit poll has the economy as the biggest issue.
Chart from Real Clear Politics on poll averages:
Prediction: Obama will win Pennsylvania, with a 3.8+ lead, taking the state’s 20 electoral votes in a Real Clear Politics poll.
UPDATE: 8:06PM
While we wait final projections – let’s recall a campaign highlight:
UPDATE: 8:33PM With 1 percent reporting Governor Romney holds almost 62 percent of the votes, with President Obama closing in on 36 percent.
UPDATE: 8:421PM Oh, wait. The president is now leading.
UPDATE: 8:47PM With 1 percent reporting, Republican candidate Tom Smith takes the lead with 51.5 percent over incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, 46.1 percent.
Here are some leads for the House of Representatives:
UPDATE: 9:17PM With three percent reporting, Huffington Post calls Pennsylvania for Barack Obama, with 68 percent of the vote. While incumbent Senator Bob Casey is re-elected for another term, beating candidate Tom Smith: 69.3% – 29.1% respectively.
UPDATE: 9:35PM
UPDATE: 11:23PM Pennsylvania led the way to the re-election of President Barack Obama.
