The Know Your Rights Camp, founded by Colin Kaepernick, has joined the effort to bring justice for Saraya.

"Mental illness is not a crime. Being Black is not a crime," the organization wrote on Instagram. "We demand justice and accountability!!"

14-year-old Saraya Rees needed psychological help, so her parents contacted a local health center. Instead of providing her with mental health services, the center called POLICE. And we can all guess what happened next… Saraya was arrested, questioned without her parents or lawyer present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sentenced to 11 years in juvenile prison. Today, Saraya behind bars with no mental health support!! Sign Saraya's Change.org petition (link in story) and demand Saraya's release from juvenile prison so she can finally get mental health treatment for her condition. Mental illness is not a crime. Being Black is not a crime. We demand justice and accountability!! #justice4saraya #sarayarees Via- @attorneycrump
