Welcome to day 5 in our week of action, a campaign created in solidarity with communities around the globe seeking justice for black lives cut short by atrocious acts of hate.

Today we are writing birthday letters to Breonna Taylor, an E.M.T (Emergency Medical Technician) and aspiring nurse from Louisville, KY who would have turned 27 today - June 5, 2020.

On March 13, 2020 Breonna Taylor was wrongfully killed by the police in her own home in the middle of the night. No one has been charged for Breonna Taylor's death. ⁠⠀

So what can we do? Let's honor Breonna's life by making her a birthday card demanding justice. ⁠⠀

Step 1: Draw your card. Breonna loved the colors blue & purple! ⁠⠀

Step 2: Write your letter - demand that charges be brought against the police officers who committed this crime. ⁠⠀

Step 3: Want to share your card with us? We’d love to see it ! Post on Instagram with the hashtag #illustoriaweekofaction.

Step 4: Choose to send your letter to: ⁠⠀

Attorney General Daniel Cameron ⁠⠀
Office of the Attourney General ⁠⠀
700 Capital Avenue, Suite 118 ⁠⠀
Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 ⁠⠀

and / or ⁠⠀

Mayor Greg Fischer ⁠⠀
527W Jefferson St. #600 ⁠⠀
Louisville KY 40202 ⁠⠀
