On December 23, 2019, Breonna Taylor tweeted about how happy she felt about paying off her debt. She would start 2020 debt-free, and that accomplishment "makes my whole heart smile."
Today I cannot read that without my heart breaking.
[thread] 👇🏾
Look at her Twitter handle, "Pretty N Paidd."
She should be alive today, tweeting about paying off debt, telling stories about budgeting and saving, on Zoom calls with the debt-free community, launching the Pretty N Paid Podcast.
She should be here with us today. /2
So -- What can we do?
The Marshall Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that specializes in journalism about criminal justice.
Its extensive reporting "establishes facts, exposes failures and examines solutions for a criminal justice system in crisis." /3
It is closely, methodically and thoroughly examining how to create justice for Breonna Taylor.
Please consider making a recurring donation to the Marshall Project of $10 - $15 per month.
Here is an example of its research and reporting: themarshallproject.org/2020/08/08/why…

Here is its donation page:

I also recommend donating to the Committee to Protect Journalists, another 501(c)3 nonprofit protecting reporters covering these events.

Of course, I understand that many people have tight budgets right now (especially if you lost your job during the pandemic). That's okay; do the best you can. Pass along the message and take action.
The future is up to us. 🙏🏽 #justiceforbreonnataylor
