Today, my little Louisville skyline hoop heads off to its new home.
I love the people in this city that make Louisville what it is. The protesters, activists, & advocates make me proud to live here. The corrupt Louisville Metro Police Department & complacent mayor Mayor Greg Fischer make me disgusted.
We need change now. Another life was lost this weekend in Louisville when a man opened fire on peaceful protesters gathered at Breonna Taylor Park (Jefferson Square Park). His name was Tyler Gerth, a 27-year-old photographer (Gerthy Images) and ally.
(Sign this petition, http://chng.it/4JFcWLz9MB, to officially change the name of Jefferson Square Park to Breonna Taylor Park, as it has become a focal meeting place for protesters, advocates, & activists.)
The three police officers involved in the murder of Breonna Taylor need to be fired, arrested, charged, & convicted. Sign the petition for at justiceforebreonna.org - additional resources & information can be found there as well.
We also demand justice for David McAtee, who was murdered by cops in Louisville on June 1st while feeding patrons at his BBQ restaurant. Sign the petition to demand at change.org/p/louisville-mayor-greg-fischer-justice-for-david-mcatee
Since Mayor Fischer is unwilling, unable, & incompetent in demanding justice & moving forward with our demands, he must, at the very least, resign. Sign this petition to demand his resignation: change.org/p/louisville-metro-government-force-mayor-greg-fischer-to-resign
We are on Day 31 of protests & demonstrations here in Louisville. We won’t stop until our demands are met.
