BREONNA TAYLOR

26 YEARS OLD | MURDERED BY LOUISVILLE PD ON MARCH 13, 2020

Breonna Taylor was an award-winning EMT who was murdered by Louisville police when they executed a no-knock raid at her home. Three officers burst through her door, unloaded their weapons and killed her. The warrant that eventually led to Breonna’s death was secured with false testimony from another detective. No drugs were found in her home. Breonna was not a suspect. She did nothing wrong. Of the officers who are responsible for Breonna’s murder, only one has been fired. All four of them should be fired, arrested and charged with murder. Learn all about her case by watching The Activist Bootcamp videos below. Then, fight for Breonna by following the action steps.
