An organization that advocates for minority participation in the telecommunications and digital industries is leading a new initiative to help people become more proficient in documenting incidents like police abuse and voter intimidation through mobile video.

The Santana Initiative is named after this young man, Feidin Santana, who used his cell phone to record the April 2015 fatal shooting of unarmed black motorist Walter Scott by then North Charleston, South Carolina police officer Michael Slager. Santana's phone video went viral and helped result in murder charges against Slager.
