Birthday girl Demi Lovato turns 28 today (August 20), but she recognized who would not celebrate this milestone: Breonna Taylor.
“Today is my 28th birthday … a birthday that Breonna Taylor will never have the chance to experience,” the pop star wrote Thursday in an Instagram note that had a photo of Taylor as a background. The African American EMT was fatally shot eight times by Louisville Metro Police Department officers while lying asleep in her apartment on March 13. She was 26.
So to bring justice to her case, Lovato organized a “special Propeller campaign in honor of Breonna that included letters to the mayor of Louisville and chief of police, petition links, and donation links,” she went on to say. “No matter how big or small you think your impact may be, if we all stand together, we can help bring justice to Breonna Taylor. START ACTION NOW.”
Her fiancé Max Ehrich, who paid tribute to his “angel”, “Lonely Hearts” remix collaborator JoJo and more, applauded her efforts and wished her a happy birthday in the comments.
