The three officers who murdered Breonna Taylor have yet to be fired or arrested, and are still being paid “on leave.”

Content Warning: this email discusses murder and police brutality.

John,

It’s been 97 days since three police officers barged into Breonna Taylor’s apartment in the middle of the night and fired more than 20 bullets taking her life.

The three officers have yet to be fired or arrested, and are still being paid “on leave.” We will not rest. We must go harder for Breonna, and all of the Black women and Black trans lives that have been lost whether or not their names are trending on Twitter.

We need you to make a call to Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer TODAY demanding that the three police officers: Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove are fired and charged for murder.

To call Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer:

→ Dial (844) 298-2731 ←

You can use this sample script when you call:

“Hi, my name is John and I’m calling from Washington. I am outraged and horrified that more than three months after three cops murdered Breonna Taylor, they have faced no consequences and despite being responsible, they are still employed by the LMPD.

The LMPD officers, Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove took Breonna’s life as she was just resting in her home. No warrant, no announcement, and no need to be in her home in the first place. These officers must immediately be fired for illegally entering her home, their egregious misconduct, and taking Breonna’s young life. I am calling on you to fire and charge them now!”

We’ve seen that progress towards justice is possible. Under pressure from across the country, Louisville voted to ban "no-knock" warrants – the warrant that was used the morning Breonna Taylor was murdered while in bed. We applaud all the folks in Louisville who fought so hard to make this possible.

But that’s not enough, John. A recent lawsuit filed against the officers reveals that police were actually searching for another person more than 10 miles away, who had already been arrested that morning. This is an affront to Black people, our communities, and Breonna’s family.

Far too often, Black women and Black trans women face police harassment and violence at the hands of bloodthirsty racist cops who see no value in Black lives. It stops now.

Demanding #JusticeforBreonna is a crucial step towards justice for all, and part of the broader call to defund the police across the country.

We need everyone reading this email to make calls today and to show up this weekend for the Juneteeth weekend of action.

We will remember and commit to fight for:

Breonna Taylor
George Floyd
Ahmaud Arbery
Rem'mie Fells
Riah Milton
Tony McDade
Rayshard Brooks

And the countless other Black lives lost to police brutality and biased violence.

Let’s show up for Breonna and demand justice for all of our sisters,
