Florida Governor Rick Scott met with seven of the Dream Defenders leaders late Thursday for nearly an hour, but the protestors are not going anywhere, the Associated Press reported.

Scott listened to the group's leaders, from the University of Florida chapter, express their frustration with the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial and how they would like to fight racial profiling. The group met in a conference room and Scott reportedly listened intently and took pages of notes.

Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter for shooting Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman's attorneys said their client acted in self-defense, but the prosecution said Martin was the unfair victim of racial profiling.

"There has to be a comprehensive approach to make sure every child in Florida can feel safe again," Gabriel Pendas told the governor.

At the end of the meeting, Scott told the group he would not call a special session with Florida legislators and he would not repeal the Stand Your Ground law. Scott said he had spoken with Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, earlier that evening and that he would hold a day of prayer Sunday for unity.

The governor told the Dream Defender leaders that if they wanted the law changed, they would have to speak to local legislators. However, the state legislature is controlled by the GOP and the National Rifle Association strongly backs the Stand Your Ground law.

"If you believe stand-your-ground should be repealed tell them why," Scott said.

Scott asked the group for ideas on how to combat racial profiling, before the meeting ended he told them: "I appreciate you and I look forward to seeing you again."

The Dream Defenders reiterated they would stay until they achieved what they set out to do and that they had not. They arrived Tuesday and wanted to speak with Scott himself so they could show him why he needed to repeal Stand Your Ground in a special session with Florida legislators.

"We're not here to play games," said Phillip Agnew, executive director of the Dream Defenders. "We're very serious about this. And it pains our heart that we do live in a state where a child can be killed just for the way he looks."

The Dream Defenders will continue their protest, as they stated on their Twitter account Thursday night.

"We provided [Governor Scott] the opportunity to show real leadership tonight and he did not rise to the call. Our work is not done."

Another one of the activist group's demands was a civil rights act in the name of Trayvon Martin. The Dream Defenders tweeted a general idea of what the act would accomplish.
