Outline
I will be adding more information about the meImbers of the Mothers of the Movement, and what actually got together in the first place. This is important because there isn't a lot of information on the internet about the mothers of the innocent lives lost due to police brutality.

Draft
I'm adding to the Mothers of the Movement and biography of how it all began in the first place. This is very important because this group hasn't been talked about because it show cases how police brutality has affected the victims family and what they are trying to do to bring their voice to light. This relates to Human Rights because what those police men did to the victims were unjust. It was all based off of prejudice stereotypes and just plane wrong. Those actions pushed us back hundred of years in regards of Human Rights.

- a more detailed way of describing of who makes up the group

-what they are trying to improve the systematic oppression of African Americans

-how the events have shaped them

The mothers have formed a group to push for more light to be brought to police brutality, but they are just more than the mothers of victims. They are people who have to fight everyday to get up in the morning and not give up the fight that their child has lost their lives to. The mothers have been to countless rallys to end gun violence, They have come together to encourage people to speak up about the racism African Americans face and the countless cases of police brutality.

Hey! Okay so far what you have is good. I know what you're contributing to and everything. I just wish there was more information for me to look over regarding the Mothers of the Movement. I feel there should be a few more information and at least one more source to add to your list. I do think that maybe the rest of the information is elsewhere? I also feel that the article should be less opinionated and more fact based; formatted from statistics to their results/impact on the topic you've chosen. I am not sure what part of the article you are contributing to with this topic. '''Yes! That's a great point! Will this be added to the intro section or somewhere else?'''

The Mothers of the Movement started as a result of the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman after he fatally shot and killed Trayvon Martin. The women (who have all had children killed by police brutality) have attended many conventions to spread awareness of the crisis that is police brutality in United States. They are using their grief to rally involvement in communities and highlight the injustices they're endured with the lost of their children's lives. They also talk about life after loss, the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance), and how to move forward after a traumatic event.
