Six years later, we continue to say her name: Breonna Taylor.
Rest in power, Breonna.
#SayHerName

Six years ago, a life full of promise was taken in the place she should have been safest, her own home.

#BreonnaTaylor spent her days caring for others as an EMT, yet the system meant to serve and protect failed to care for her in return.

We say her name not only in grief, but in commitment to a world where Black women are protected and free to live.

Rest in power, Breonna.

...her name was Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones...

...she was a 7 year old baby girl, murdered in her sleep at her grandmas house, in 2010.

...her murderer was #detroitpd officer joseph weekley. HE WASNT CONVICTED. HIS CHARGES WERE DROPPED. HE DIDNT LOSE HIS JOB OR WAGES. HE WAS "moved to administrative duties"...where he REMAINED UNTIL RETIREMENT IN 2019 (WITH FULL BENEFITS!!!).

...her name was Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones. she was 7 years old, and she deserved LIFE AND JUSTICE...not an 8.2 million state payoff to #silence the TOTAL LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HER UNJUST MURDER!!!

This is Linda Davis — a special education teacher. She was minutes from her school when brownshirts ICE agents caused a crash and didn’t render aid. She bled to death in her car. They didn’t help Renee Good. They didn’t help Alex Pretti. Say their names. #SayHerName #AccountabilityNow #ICEViolence

Ex-Illinois deputy sentenced to 20 years in Sonya Massey’s death

A former Illinois sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a Black women who dialed 911 asking for help. Sean Grayson was convicted of second-degree murder in October. He was sentenced on Thursday. The white former deputy killed Massey, who was Black, on July 6, 2024. The 36-year-old single mother had called the police saying she feared there was a prowler outside her Springfield home. Grayson shot her in the face. Grayson can shorten his sentence by half with good behavior. He has been incarcerated since he was charged in Massey’s killing.

Gladys West, 

a largely-unheralded black woman who passed away at the age of 95 on January 17, 2026.

Her scientific contributions enabled us to understand geodesy and the shape of the Earth well enough to make GPS technology possible
