Louisville, Kentucky community radio station ARTxFM is hosting a nationwide coordinated broadcast, “Justice for Breonna Taylor,” on August 13, the five-month anniversary of Breonna’s passing, at 2 PM EDT. The program will feature a simulcast of “Everything” by Mary J. Blige, selected by Breonna’s family, along with a short piece produced by the station.
From ARTxFM’s announcement:
On this day, we will pause our broadcast to recognize the women who were stolen from their families and loves ones far too soon. Together we will celebrate the lives of these unique individuals – recognize the pain their loss has caused their communities and user our voices to demand the justice they deserve.
In the words of Breonna’s aunt Bianca Austin, ‘Justice for Breonna means an end to police brutality and social injustice. We will not tolerate this any longer. The time is NOW! So please be a part of the change and get involved.
We will SAY HER NAME.
