The protest today, and next Monday August 31st, will be dedicated to Breonna Taylor. 164 days has passed and there is still no justice for her murder. We cannot let her name and her case fade away.
Breonna was shot and killed in her own home on March 13, 2020. She was a 26-year-old emergency room technician during the wake of Covid-19. Her Mother, Tamika Palmer said, "She had a whole plan on becoming a nurse and buying a house and then starting a family."
1 out of the 3 cops involved was fired while the other 2 are on on paid leave. Tonight we will be signing petitions, emailing and calling the Louisville police department, the new police chief Robert Schroeder, and the newly formed Public Integrity Unity of the LMPD.
Empathy building exercise: imagine if she was your daughter, your girlfriend, your wife, your mother, your friend... how would you fight for her justice? Come out tonight if you'd like to peacefully protest with us. See you there. 6-8pm at the Rush County Courthouse lawn.
