Today, Breonna Taylor would have turned 27. In honor of her, please consider donating to the gofundmeΒ her family has set up, and help those in her community who are fighting for her by donating to Louisville Community Bail Fund . Also, please sign petitions: including the petitionΒ set up by the Action PACΒ (it is aiming for 1 million signatures),Β the petitionΒ thatβs been going around social mediaΒ (it is aiming for 4.5 million signatures), the MoveOn petitionΒ (it is aiming for 600,000 signatures), and the ColorofChange petitionΒ (it has reached itβs goal of 750,000 signatures, but you can still sign). All of these petitions urge the KentuckyΒ government to hire a special prosecutor to investigate the three police officers responsible for her death, to investigate the Louisville police department, to ensure the LMPD pays her family, and to get Congress to discuss the constitutionality of no-knock warrants. Additionally, visit the website set up by the political committee her family contacted, where you can make callsΒ to key officials.
I got this from a Google Doc but I think itβs hard to access because of how many people who has requested it but here is the tweet with the links to every petitionΒ you need to sign (not just ones concerning Breonna) and other place to donate. There are templates provided on that document to help you write an email or make a call to certain officials. I provided links to their emails/websites, in case thatβs easier to make use of than making phone calls.
