The Rev. Al Sharpton lead a march protesting the controversial "Stand Your Ground" law in Florida on Monday, WPBF-TV reported.
Among the hundreds of people that reportedly marched with Sharpton to the state Capitol included members of Trayvon Martin's and Jordan Davis' families.
Martin, 16, was fatally shot by ex-neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012, igniting a heated national debate over racism, gun control, and "Stand Your Ground" principles.
Davis, 17, was fatally shot by Michael Dunn in 2012 after the two argued over the volume of Davis' music playing in his car. Dunn did not use the "Stand Your Ground" defense like Zimmerman's attorneys did, but he claimed he was defending himself.
According to the law, individuals who are not involved in illegal activity are permitted to use excessive force if they feel they are in serious danger.
"It's a flawed law because you don't need an actual threat," Sharpton said. "All you've got to do is believe a threat and you can use deadly force."
Other promiment members of the included relatives of Marissa Alexander, who is currently facing 60 years in prison.
Alexander, 33, was convicted of three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after her husband allegedly threatened to kill her in 2012. Though her first sentence was tossed by an appeals court, her Stand Your Ground defense was also rejected.
Since Florida became the first state to implement the law, Sharpton suggested state lawmakers should eliminate it to send a message to other states.
"Florida is the first state to enact the law in 2005," he said. "We came back to where it started to begin where it will end."
