Justice for Breonna Taylor
Once again, our broken justice system has failed Breonna Taylor.
Breonna Taylor was a Black, 26-year-old, health care worker from Louisville, Kentucky, who became a figure of the Black Lives Matter movement, the the largest protest movement in U.S. history. Breonna was killed in her home by police officers who entered with a warrant based on falsified information and fired 32 times, discharging their weapons blindly through the interior walls of her apartment while she was in bed. Since her death, Breonna Taylor has become another heartbreaking story among the countless victims of police violence and for the fight to end the system of white supremacy that enables police officers to evade accountability.
It's unjustifiable that a judge has now thrown out charges against two former police officers who falsified information, leading police to enter Breonna Taylor's apartment with a no-knock warrant and kill her. There can be no justice for Breonna Taylor if our judicial system refuses to hold those who endangered her accountable. As long as police can lie and kill without fear of consequences, our communities will have to suffer the type of police violence that cost Breonna Taylor her life. We’ve had enough.
No one is above the law, including police officers. Sign the petition now to demand Congress take action to end qualified immunity, which allows police officers to escape accountability for their misconduct.

Why is this important?
U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson has dismissed charges against the two former officers that falsified the warrant that led police officers to enter Breonna Taylor's apartment. This decision is outrageous. These charges were brought about by prosecutors after an investigation into Breonna Taylor's death and the Louisville Police Department by the U.S. Justice Department. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the former officers violated Breonna Taylor's civil rights.
It is a failure of our justice system to dismiss the charges against these former police officers, who are evading responsibility yet again.
Add your name now to demand Congress take action to end police violence and hold police officers accountable by ending qualified immunity.
