Cases like Breonna Taylor’s highlight Black women are ‘not safe anywhere,’ #SayHerName campaign founder says

CNN  

CNN — Breonna Taylor’s name echoed in the streets of US cities for months after she was fatally shot by Louisville police in her apartment. “Hopefully people can see the problem is much deeper than a few bad apples.” Video Ad Feedback The difference between law and justice 10:29 - Source: CNN ‘All Black lives matter’ The #SayHerName campaign, launched in 2014, serves to raise awareness and support the families of the Black women and girls who fall victim to police brutality – and who are often overlooked and forgotten. “#SayHerName is grounded in the sad reality that Black women and girls who are targeted, brutalized, and killed by police are all too often excluded from mainstream narratives around police violence,” the campaign’s web page says. “We’re still in a period of time where we have to make people see that Black women are also the subject of anti-Black police violence,” Crenshaw said. “It’s one of the most consistent aspects of our experience across history.” ’195 days’ since Taylor was killed Despite the announcement from Kentucky’s top attorney, many are determined to keep Taylor’s name alive and continue to demand justice – among them, WNBA players and NBA legend LeBron James.
