At the Trayvon Martin rally in Union Square this evening

After the Union Square rally, those in attendance marched down Broadway... and worked their way though the East Village... one estimate on Twitter put the march at three-to-four blocks long...

Longest sustained chant: "Trayvon is dead. Zimmerman is free. That's what we call democracy." #TrayvonMartin pic.twitter.com/Ih0jgoziZK

... the protestors eventually headed north up First Avenue... where they amassed in Times Square.
