Friend —

On March 13, law enforcement entered Breonna Taylor’s home in Louisville, Kentucky unannounced because of a “no-knock” warrant. The interaction that followed resulted in Breonna’s murder at the hands of the police.

This grave injustice is a tragic reminder of why we must end the use of “no-knock” warrants in drug cases — which too often lead to deadly use of force by law enforcement.

Breonna Taylor and her fiance were not involved in or suspected of any illicit activity. The police had wrongfully entered their home and had meant to be searching a home more than ten miles away. Their deadly mistake is absolutely devastating.

Right now, I am calling for an end to using “no-knock” warrants in drug cases. No person should be subjected to law enforcement entering their home unexpectedly — especially communities of color who have been harassed, traumatized, and killed by police time and time again.

If you agree that we must end the use of “no-knock” warrants in drug cases, can you sign my petition right now? Add your name right here to put pressure on Republican leaders in Washington:

We cannot continue to fail communities of color and repeat the same platitudes after each tragedy. Our words will only matter if they are coupled with action.

I am working hard in the Senate to pass legislation to end the use of “no-knock” warrants in drug cases at the federal level, and I want to know you’re with me on ending this injustice.

Thank you for signing on.
