Justice for Breonna Taylor
Breonna Taylor, a 26 year old Black Louisville EMT, was murdered in her own home on March 13 by Louisville Metro Police officers Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove. The officers executed a no-knock warrant and were searching for a man who was not in Breonna’s home.
Breonna’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was home with her and shot at officers when they entered the home unannounced. He initially was charged with attempted murder for shooting at the officers, but the charges have since been dropped.
None of the officers involved have been fired, but they are currently on leave. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has been appointed special prosecutor on this case and will determine whether the officers get charged.

Taken from Color of Change, here’s a message you can use to ask Mayor Fischer or LMPD to fire the officers!
Dear [insert title],
My name is ___ and I am a resident of ____. I am outraged and horrified that Breonna Taylor was gunned down and shot more than eight times while in her home after officers barged in and illegally took her life. More than two months after cops murdered her, they have faced no consequences.
The LMPD officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove took Breonna’s life as she was just resting in her home doing nothing wrong. There was 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 the three officers immediately.
Partially from twitter, partially from Color of Change, here’s a message you can send to AG Cameron about prosecuting the 3 officers involved!
Dear Attorney General Cameron,
My name ___ and I am a resident of ____. I am outraged and horrified that Breonna Taylor was gunned down and shot more than eight times while in her home after officers barged in and illegally took her life. More than two months after cops murdered her, they have faced no consequences. I’m calling for the prosecution of to the fullest extent of the law and that you will not rest until that happens.
The LMPD officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove took Breonna’s life as she was just resting in her home doing nothing wrong. There was no announcement and no need to be in her home in the first place. The approach that the officers chose to take was one that resulted in murder and must not be taken lightly. Regards.
Justice for George Floyd
George Floyd, a 46 year old Black man, was murdered by Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin, as 3 other officers looked on. George told them he couldn’t breathe. The officers were initially called to investigate alleged forgery of a $20 bill at a corner store.
The 4 officers involved have been fired from the police force, but they must also be charged for murdering George Floyd.

Taken from Color of Change, here’s a message you can leave for Mayor Frey!
Dear Mayor Jacob Frey,
I am outraged and disturbed by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police Department officers.
For seven minutes, George Floyd and bystanders cried out and pleaded for his life as your officers choked him to death in broad daylight. This is an act of police violence committed on an innocent, unarmed Black man. No one deserves what happened to George. And it’s up to you to grant justice.
I’m calling on you, the Mayor, to 1) block their pensions and 2) ban them from becoming police officers ever again. And County Attorney Freeman must immediately charge all four officers with murder. We’re counting on you to secure justice for his family.
