With Cameron Sterling’s heart-breaking cry still ringing in our ears as he mourned the police shooting death of his father, Alton Sterling, we awoke this morning to news of yet another African American man being shot and killed by a police officer. His girlfriend and her four-year-old daughter were witnesses to his death.

Our hearts are breaking but our resolve has hardened. This must stop. We must bring an end to the racial profiling, police brutality, and militarized policing targeting African American and Latino youth, families, and communities throughout our country.

Alongside other leading organizations like Color of Change and #BlackLivesMatter, MomsRising is demanding an end to this slaughter.  . Local police departments have all too often been ineffective in investigating themselves. It is time for fair, outside, independent, federal investigation and prosecution of police misconduct. We are calling on the Obama administration, the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to investigate and implement reforms to end racial profiling, police brutality and the targeting of communities of color.

Enough is enough. It is long past time for comprehensive national action. Our national leaders must take action now. And we will be watching.
