1/ A grand jury has indicted one of the three officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor. This announcement comes after a $12 million settlement for the family and months of Black Lives Matter protests.https://bit.ly/300wm3s
2/ A look back to our previous coverage 
Earlier this month, @keaux_ reported on the city of Louisville's $12 million settlement following Breonna Taylor's death, and provided background on the varied outcomes of when police kill Black women.https://19thnews.org/2020/09/the-12-million-breonna-taylor-settlement-sparks-reform-echoes-sayhername-cases/ …
3/ According to data from the @washingtonpost:
In the past five years, police have shot and killed 250 women, 89 of them killed at their homes or in residences where they sometimes stayed.https://19thnews.org/2020/09/the-12-million-breonna-taylor-settlement-sparks-reform-echoes-sayhername-cases/ …
4/ Although Black women make up 1 percent of all police shootings tracked by the Washington Post, they make up 20 percent of women shot and killed by police.https://19thnews.org/2020/09/the-12-million-breonna-taylor-settlement-sparks-reform-echoes-sayhername-cases/ …
5/ In late June, which at the time was about 100 days since Breonna Taylor had been shot and killed, @emarvelous reported on how her death was looming over Kentucky's primary election.https://19thnews.org/2020/06/breonna-taylors-death-looms-over-kentuckys-primary-election/ …
6/ Local organizers were working to transform protest into power, particularly among young voters. "The Breonna Taylor incident has activated them. They want some justice. That's motivating a lot of them to cast a ballot."https://19thnews.org/2020/06/breonna-taylors-death-looms-over-kentuckys-primary-election/ …
7/ @emarvelous also spoke to Breonna Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, on what would have been Taylor's 27th birthday.
"I'm glad we're here, and for everybody thinking of her. But it would be a better day if she was here."https://19thnews.org/2020/06/it-helps-me-know-that-i-am-not-in-it-alone-anymore-breonna-taylors-mother-on-her-daughter-and-protests/ …
8/ And in our first story on Breonna Taylor, we looked at why her death did not initially draw national headlines. "Breonna's name should be known by everybody in America ... because she was in her own home, doing absolutely nothing wrong."https://19thnews.org/2020/05/family-seeks-answers-in-fatal-police-shooting-of-louisville-woman-in-her-apartment/ …
9/ Breonna Taylor was working as an EMT when the coronavirus hit the country, helping to save lives while trying to protect her own. The pandemic, not Taylor getting killed in her own home, is what her mother, Tamika Palmer, was most worried about.https://19thnews.org/2020/05/family-seeks-answers-in-fatal-police-shooting-of-louisville-woman-in-her-apartment/ …
10/10 Breonna Taylor's killing has been part of the nation's racial reckoning conversation, and a reminder that Black Americans are disproportionately suffering from a set of dual ills: the coronavirus and systemic racism. A pandemic within a pandemic.https://19thnews.org/collections/pandemic-within-a-pandemic/ …
