Headlines this week are filled with Police killing individuals in Baton Rouge, Minnesota, and New York who are African American and Latino and/or who also have a perceived disability. 
  
African Americans being racially profiled and killed by Police is not new. 
What is new and becoming more common is police violence being recorded.  These videos going live contain horrific graphic footage that the public is witnessing via social media. The anger of the people from witnessing these human rights violations is causing a ground swell. 

Now, because of social media, we also have more footage of our Human Rights movements: Black Live Matter and Psychiatric Survivors are putting more light on these incidents. 

What does it mean for a robot to have killed a man? If it had been a white man, would there be equal acceptance of this fate? 

What changes are occurring in our society or in our relationships to the Community and the Police? 

On July 15, 2016 from 9-11 PM Eastern, please join Celia Brown, President of MindFreedom International, Yvonne Smith, hoste of Late Night with a Hero, Lauren Tenney, host of Talk with Tenney, and others for this OPEN LINES CALL IN SHOW as we discuss how we can partner and strategize for human rights and racial justice,  and explore the intersection of race, disabilities, and human rights.
