Do you know what happened to Breonna Taylor? On March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers. The officers were searching for two people who were already in custody. Neither person lived there. Three officers –Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly, Detective Brett Hankison and Detective Myles Cosgrove — forced entry without knocking or announcing they were officers. They used a battering ram to knock down her door and then fired more than 22 times. Breonna was hit with eight of those bullets. Breonna was killed. None of the officers have been fired, arrested or charged. They were able to enter her apartment with a No-Knock Warrant. Today, we are asking you to fight for Breonna by following the three calls to action in the images above. Thank you for joining us this week. Thank you for listening to Black women. Thank you Black women for your labor of love. And thank you all, for being part of the change that can only happen when we deeply hear each other’s voices.

Seeing America with Megan Rapinoe es el nombre del nuevo programa conducido por la futbolista y que ya puede verse en HBO. Sí, la que también fue casa de Chumel Torres.

Entre los invitados al show está la representante Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), el comediante Hasan Minhaj, quien tiene un show en Netflix llamado Patriot Act y la periodista ganadora del premio Pulitzer Nikole Hannah-Jones.

El objetivo de estas conversaciones es ayudar aportar a los cambios culturales que han tenido lugar durante este momento histórico que se vive en Estados Unidos y el mundo.

«Es un honor presentar un programa con una conversación crítica entre algunos de los líderes de opinión más innovadores de Estados Unidos», dijo Rapinoe. «Estoy muy agradecida con HBO por proporcionar una plataforma tan poderosa para este importante diálogo».

¿Porqué Megan Rapinoe?

Rapinoe, la dos veces ganadora de la Copa Mundial Femenina con el equipo de EE. UU., ha llamado la atención no solo por su liderazgo en la cancha sino porque su dedicación al activismo.

Desde arrodillarse durante el himno nacional en 2016 en apoyo de Colin Kaepernick hasta su éxito y franqueza inquebrantable durante la Copa Mundial Femenina de 2019 en Francia, la capacidad de Rapinoe para centrar la atención mundial en temas sociales, económicos y políticos, la ha convertido en una de las defensoras del cambio más reconocidas y admiradas del país.
