John,
One of the officers who murdered Breonna Taylor was fired from the force on Friday. This is a step in the right direction, but we know this is not what justice looks like and we refuse to settle for it.
There are still two other officers, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, on the force who were involved in Breonna’s murder. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer must fire ALL of them.
Over 600 of you made calls last week directly to Mayor Fischer and many of you reported that the voicemail inboxes were full. That’s why instead we’re asking everyone to send a personal email to Mayor Fischer today.

"Dear Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer,
I am outraged and horrified that two of the officers who murdered Breonna Taylor have faced no consequences and despite being responsible, they are still employed by the LMPD.
The LMPD officers, Jonathan Mattingly 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.”

In a joint statement, the attorneys representing Breonna’s family said this news is a welcome, but long-overdue step toward justice. It’s been 101 days since Bre’s murder.
The attorneys said, "we await further action by the police department to terminate the other officers," and that it is time for Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to file criminal charges against all the officers.
We cannot rest. Every message sent shows that we’re watching and sends the message that anything less than justice will not be tolerated.
Thank you for speaking out.
