Stars including Jessica Alba, Regina King, Olivia Wilde and Tracee Ellis Ross demand justice for Breonna Taylor with a powerful style statement.
On Monday, 150 days after Taylor was assassinated, more than 70 celebrities posted Instagram photos with a T-shirt of black and female-owned brand Phenomenal that read, “Arrest the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor.”
The back of the tea has a portrait of the late 26-year-old EMT artist Arlyn García, along with the words, “Say her name.”
In March, Taylor was fatally shot in her own home by three Louisville Metro Police Department officers who conducted a no-knock search. While one of the cops involved has since been fired, no one has been arrested.
