Beyoncé is using her voice in more ways than one, and wrote a powerful letter demanding justice for Breonna Taylor.
"Your office has both the power and the responsibility to bring justice to Breonna Taylor and demonstrate the value of a Black woman's life," the songstress expressed. "I urge you to use that power."
Beyoncé listed three actions she'd like to see happen, including: "Bring criminal charges against Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison. Commit to transparency in the investigation and prosecution of these officers' criminal conduct. Investigate the LMPD's response to Breonna Taylor's murder, as well as the pervasive practices that result in the repeated deaths of unarmed Black citizens.
Closing her letter, she wrote, "Don't let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy. With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: the death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next month can't look like the last three.
