Justice for Breonna Taylor
On March 13, 2020, 26-year-old Breonna Taylor was killed by three Louisville, Kentucky police officers who were executing a no-knock warrant. Brett Hankison, Myles Cosgrove, and Jonathan Mattingly forcibly entered her home, unannounced, in the middle of the night while she was asleep with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. Terrified of possible armed intruders, Walker fired a warning shot. In response, the officers unleashed a barrage of bullets, killing Taylor and jeopardizing her neighbors' safety as bullets pierced a wall in her apartment. To date, none of the officers have been charged with Taylor's death. This month, her family, celebrities, and civil rights advocates have renewed calls for the U.S. Department of Justice to charge the officers. How can we help?
