"“The JUST US App was created to give a bit of relief to Black and Brown communities across America who worry about being the next victim of police brutality when they leave home. JUST US is a tool empowering us to actively serve as our brothers' keeper, that we hope will deter the senseless deaths and provide justice to our community” (justusapp.org); "A driver's license to me meant that he was going to be out in the world and I couldn't protect him. . .I just kind of pondered, 'What can I do? How can I stay connected without stagnating this young man who was ready to venture off?" (abcnews.go.com); "We know that a lot of incidents happen when folks reach for things," Davis said. "And so the voice activation was so important to me because you're not reaching for anything. There's no misconceptions there." (abcnews.go.com); "
