Petitions To Repeal Stand Your Ground Multiply

Looking for ways to help end Stand Your Ground laws? After the Trayvon Martin shooting, online petitions to repeal Stand Your Ground or Shoot First laws started popping up from Florida to Arizona. Since the trial, they have multiplied.

Because there are so many petitions out there, it gets a little confusing, so EndStandYourGround.com has tried to compile a list, (which is by no means complete), that comprises more than 20 of the more accessible petitions you can add your name to. This list will be updated periodically, so you can come back for any we may have missed. The total signatures collected are current as of Aug. 9, 2013:
