[via HuffingtonPost] Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush was thrown off the House floor Wednesday after wearing a hoodie and sunglasses in protest of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida.

The Miami Heat show support for Trayvon Martin

Posted on March 25, 2012 by www.nouaintradio.com | 1 Comment

The Miami Heat are stepping up to show their support for Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old who was shot dead by a neighborhood watch leader, George Zimmerman, as he was returning home from a store in Sanford, Florida unarmed. As we previously reported, Martin was wearing a hoodie while carrying only iced tea and a bag of Skittles, however the neighborhood watch leader thought he looked suspicious.

Zimmerman, has yet to be arrested for shooting Trayvon because he told police that he shot him in self-defense and is protected by Florida’s ‘Stand Your Grown’ law aka “Shoot First, Ask Questions later.”

Today, King James tweeted a photo of the entire squad wearing hoodies with the caption:

#WeAreTrayvonMartin #Hoodies #Stereotyped #WeWantJustice

Dwyane Wade also changed his profile pic to one of himself in a hoodie and tweeted:

“#hoodies, #steretype #TrayvonMartin”

The Miami Heat aren’t the only ones stepping up to show their dissatisfaction with the justice system. Check out Sinead O’Connor’s open letter here.

22.03.12 Treyvon Martin

I would like to extend my very deepest sympathies to the family and other loved ones of murdered teenager, Treyvon Martin. I am very sad today (and am certain the whole of Ireland is) to learn of poor Treyvon’s terrifying ordeal and horrified by the fact his known and named and admitted killer has not been arrested, despite the crime having taken place a month ago. This is a disgrace to the entire human race. Continue reading →

Joseph Kony 2012: Online video to bring Uganda war criminal to justice goes viral

Posted on March 7, 2012 by www.nouaintradio.com | 2 Comments

No U Ain’t Radio has chosen to stray away from our usual entertainment news to bring to you a very important video that has caught our attention. The video highlights the alleged abuses committed by Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army in central Africa and has been shared worldwide as accompanying Twitter campaign gains momentum.

The video was produced by campaign group “Invisible Children” which describes itself as a movement seeking to end the conflict in Uganda and tells the story of a former child soldier called Jacob.

It has gathered a lot of attention online and an accompanying Twitter campaign has seen the hashtags #stopkony and #kony2012 :

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a cultish militia that has terrorised parts of Africa for decades and has launched a new spate of attacks in Democratic Republic of Congo this year.

One person has been killed, 17 abducted and 3,000 displaced in 20 attacks in Orientale province in northeastern Congo this year. The renewed violence was a cause of concern, UNHCR said.

Please join us in spreading the word and educating the world on what’s going on in Central Africa by sharing this post. Thank you.
