Stand with Officer Nakia Jones
At the end of the video of Philando Castile being executed by the police, his little daughter comforts her mother -- “It's OK, Mommy, I'm right here with you.”

Brutal police violence against Black people in America isn't new -- what is new is how it's being caught on video using smartphones. The videos are devastating to watch but they're turning the attention of the media and the country on abuses that have been ignored far too long -- and they're creating a moment we can choose to rise to.

We need a revolution that forces the police system to change from the inside -- and one brave female officer might have sparked that revolution today.

Officer Nakia Jones took a huge risk today by putting a powerful video on Facebook speaking out against the murders committed by her fellow officers, and it's going viral. Others might want to join her, but may hesitate out of fear for their jobs or safety.

That's where we come in. We can give her massive public support that could inspire other police officers to come forward, and force the change within the system we need.

Add your name to stand with Officer Jones and any other police officer who speaks out against racist police brutality.
