Rev. Al Sharpton announced Tuesday a “Justice for Trayvon” day, which will press for federal charges against George Zimmerman.

Over the weekend, Zimmerman was acquitted for the death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager.

The “Justice for Trayvon” day will take place at noon Saturday at federal court buildings in cities such as Chicago, New York and L.A.

"People all across the country will gather to show that we are not having a two- or three-day anger fit. This is a social movement for justice," Sharpton said when he announced the plan, according to the Huffington Post.

Zimmerman’s acquittal has already led to violent and peaceful protests around the country, including a number in L.A., where factions splintered off and threw rocks and bottles at passerbys and cars.

While marches in downtown and in Leimert Park were peaceful Tuesday, some protests Monday were not and led to dozens of arrests in L.A. and Oakland, according to the L.A. Times.

Due to the violence Monday, Najee Ali, founder of Project Islamic Hope, cancelled a rally scheduled for Wednesday, according to the Daily News.

The community leader urged other groups to cancel rallies as well because of the prevalence of vandalism and violence.

"There's no way we can guarantee public safety because the demonstrations have been infiltrated by anarchists and agent provocateurs, whose only goal is to create vandalism, property damage and violence in our community," Ali told the Daily News. "If you have a Trayvon Martin rally or march, you can't stop other members of the public from joining it, disrupting it and causing damage. The emotions are still too high right now."

Political analyst, president of the Los Angeles Urban Politics Roundtable and author, Earl Ofari Hutchinson even organized a team of “peace monitors” to be present at rallies to discourage violence. Hutchinson said he even encouraged people to stay home.

Hutchinson said that the "Justice for Trayvon" day would not be met with the same violence.

"There will be no violence at the 100 city vigil for Martin in Los Angeles. The organizers have a clear focus and that's justice for the Martin family. The sporadic violence that occurred this week had nothing to do with the legitimate, organized protests and were condemned by all civil rights leaders," Hutchinson wrote in an email.

Hutchinson has, like Sharpton, pressed for federal prosecution for Zimmerman on the grounds that there is public interest in the case after a state trial in his blog, The Hutchinson Report.

"The call for a tough federal probe of the Zimmerman case proceedings with the view toward specifically seeking specific civil rights violations and charges against him is the correct call. True, it's a high bar for federal prosecutors to bring civil rights charges against someone after their acquittal in state court. But the call even if not successful will keep the issue of the racial bias in the courts and jury system, the devaluation of the lives of young black males, and the implacable racial divide in the country on the nation's radar scope," Hutchinson wrote in an email.

“Justice for Trayvon” aims to push for these federal charges, and Sharpton has vowed to continue advocating for the cause after the protests.

Sharpton has also said he hopes to lead a national effort to repeal “stand your ground” laws.  Sharpton admitted that the law was not used as Zimmerman’s defense, but told the Washington Post it is what prevented the immediate arrest of Zimmerman.

Sharpton also plans to march in Tallahassee because “Florida will be the battle ground for a new civil rights movement. . . . As long as 'stand your ground' is in on the books, we will have the potential of other Trayvon Martins across the country,” Sharpton told the Washington Post.
