How to Honour Breonna Taylor—and the Canadian Women Who Were Killed By Police
| How to Honour Breonna Taylor—and the Canadian Women Who Were Killed By Police | | Today would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. On March 13, the 26-year-old EMT was killed by Louisville, KY police in her home as she slept, after they broke down her door in an attempted drug sting. But, thus far, none of the officers have been charged. And since her death in March, the United States and Canada have seen the deaths of several other BIPOC at the hands of police. On June 3, writer Cate Young started the #BirthdayForBreonna initiative, which outlines actionable items and ways to help fight for justice. On what would have been her birthday, here’s what Canadians can do to help both Breonna Taylor as well as the women in our own country who recently became victims of police brutality, such as Regis Korchinski-Paquet and Chantal Moore. | | | | |
