Demand justice in the killing of Oscar Grant

The police officer who killed Oscar Grant on New Year's Eve has finally been arrested and charged with murder. Even the District Attorney admitted it was only because of massive public pressure that he moved when he did, pressure that included more than 20,000 of you speaking up.

Now, more than ever, we need to keep the pressure on.

As the Mehserle case moves forward, we need to be ready to act to make sure the authorities do their job. It's also time to seek systemic changes that will increase accountability and transparency for police in California and across the country.

Sign on for the battle ahead.

Here is the text of the pledge:

I'm joining other concerned Americans in continuing to demand justice for Oscar Grant and his family. Given the long history of police avoiding responsibility for abuses like this one, we will keep watching. We're prepared to act if justice goes off course in the prosecution of Johannes Mehserle. We'll also work to achieve systemic reforms to improve accountability and transparency for police in California and across the country.
