Dear Friend,

32 bullets. 32 bullets were fired by police officers as they stormed
through Breonna Taylor’s house without even knocking first. 32 bullets
were fired by police officers as she slept in her bed, murdering her. [ [link removed] ]

The 1 bullet that a police officer is being held responsible for? The one
that hit the wall of the apartment. The wall. “Wanton engagement” was the
charge for the bullet hitting the wall. [ [link removed] ]

In an egregious miscarriage of justice, showing the deadly effects of
structural racism in our policing and criminal justice systems, there were
no charges related to the murder of Breonna Taylor. Let us repeat: None.

[1]→ Sign on now: The fight for justice for Breonna Taylor, and to fix our
broken policing and criminal justice systems, is not over.

As an essential worker, Breonna went to work every day standing on the
frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic committed to helping people and being
of service. The devastating irony of this is that Breonna survived the
pandemic that disproportionately kills Black people, only to have her life
stolen by police. [ [link removed] ]

MomsRising stands with the family and loved ones of Breonna Taylor, BLM
Louisville, and the Movement for Black Lives in demanding:

* Immediately fire and revoke the pensions of the officers that murdered
Breonna.
* Divest from LMPD and invest in community building.
* The immediate resignation (or impeachment) of Mayor Greg Fischer.
* Metro Council ends use of force by Louisville Metro Police Department.
(Police shootings are gun violence.)
* Establish a local, civilian community police accountability council
that is independent from the Mayor’s Office and LMPD with
investigation and discipline power #CPAC.
* The creation of policy to ensure transparent investigation processes.

The wheels of justice should continue to turn until there has been real
accountability for the murder of Breonna Taylor, a young woman whose whole
life was ahead of her, until Louisville police murdered her as she slept
in her bed. A charge of “wanton endangerment” for firing a bullet into a
wall is not justice. 

[2]→ Sign on now to demand justice. We cannot let this stand for Breonna.

Breonna should be alive. She should be here with us today. Instead, her
life was tragically taken like too many others as structural racism
permeates our policing -- and her friends and family have yet to find
justice. 

Our hearts are with Breonna Taylor’s mom and all those who love her. We
will not stop demanding justice, in this case and others, until people in
every community are safe.

[3]-> No mother should have to go through what Breonna’s mom is going
through, and no one should be murdered by police. Please join us in
demanding justice.

And please forward this action link, post it on Twitter, and Facebook, and
spread the word. Every single voice is needed calling for justice right
now. Please, please also double check that you’re registered to vote and
make a plan to vote ASAP. The egregious ruling on Breonna Taylor reflects
the deadly structural racism which has permeated our policing and criminal
justice systems -- and it’s on us to change this with our voices and our
votes. We must pass the BREATHE Act [ [link removed] ] and to do that we've got to keep
raising our voices and keep voting. This fight is not over.

Thank you for raising your voice,
