When Kona Shen moved back to the United States in 2014 after a few years in Haiti, she returned to a country grappling with police brutality. Eric Garner was killed in a police officer's chokehold that July and Michael Brown was shot and killed by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri in August.

Shen knew her next project had to be something that would help. While starting graduate school at Stanford, she joined up with fellow student Mustafa Abdul-Hamid to figure out a way to communicate to police departments how their communities really feel and to help communities have their voices heard.

The result is My90, a text messaging platform that lets people communicate feedback anonymously with their local police departments. Anyone who was pulled over, stopped and frisked, or just wants to share their experience with an officer can text My90's number. The platform complements the work of Black Lives Matter and other activist groups by opening up a new line of communication between communities and law enforcement.
