Breonna Taylor should be with us today, celebrating her 27th birthday. Sadly on March 13th, she was killed in her own home by officers who were looking for a suspect. A suspect that they had already had in custody. She may be gone but Twitter came together today to celebrate her birthday, and send messages of hope, and that there is still plenty of work to be done for justice to be had for everyone like Breonna.

Today is my birthday. It also would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. But she’s not here to celebrate with her friends and family because she was unjustly killed by police in Louisville. Breonna was an award-winning first responder who loved to sing, cook, play games… pic.twitter.com/ZJ30eUvV0l

Today would have been #BreonnaTaylor’s 27th birthday.
She was an essential worker murdered by the police while she was sleeping.
She should be alive to celebrate! But instead no charges have been issued and no arrests have been made with the officers involved. pic.twitter.com/KzYHgK3utw
