We woke up & chose JUSTICE!!! Today, The @WashingtonPost Post published an article that displays the courageous work of Jill Collen Jefferson and the video of her unlawful arrest while fighting for change in Lexington, Mississippi. #WatchAndShare washingtonpost.com/national-…

She took on a small Mississippi town’s police. Then they arrested her.
