Tumblr chronicles Americans casting a ballot in honor of the Ferguson teen.

One of the most charged issues in this election cycle has been police brutality and accountability—both in megacities like New York and Chicago and in exurbs like Ferguson, Missouri, where an officer shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown in August. The death set off massive protests and sparked a national debate about racial profiling and how to police the police themselves. Now, on Election Day, Americans are sharing their outrage and their activism on a Tumblr called "Mike Brown Can't Vote But I Can," turning out for change—and giving a voice to victims like Brown and Eric Garner, who never lived to cast their own ballots.
