What happens in US politics will happen in Florida first. And a new group called Dream Defenders\u2014an alliance led by Black and Brown youth, founded after the killing of Trayvon Martin\u2014is rising up to tackle the injustices that deny the American Dream to so many. Hear about their launch action that shook the Tallahassee statehouse; Phillip's personal journey from a childhood in the church to lifetime dedication to social justice, with a depressing detour in corporate America selling, ironically, anti-depression drugs; and the transformative forty-mile march that set Dream Defenders in motion.
