Ultimately, they are calling for action to be taken in the Breonna Taylor case. The EMT was tragically shot and killed when officers came into her home in March 2020.
She shared, “My heart is heavy knowing that even as we fight for justice for our beloved Breonna Taylor, more Black men, one being Jacob Blake, is still being brutalized in the streets of America!”
She encouraged others to “search your soul and decide to receive it and activate the activist in you! Get busy, get active, get informed!”
Porsha continued, “Whatever your gift is, we NEED you to be a part of change, we need you to believe that love is an action word and show it!! Find a way to see yourself in the movement and get busy! We are standing at a fork in the road of life or death. Silence and complacency will lead to more death! It’s time to wake up!”
“Change is ahead of us…if we just continue to push through and keep moving forward together, we will get to where we need to be! We all play a part in this movement, no one is greater than another. Hell, is the heart any less important than your lungs? Absolutely not. You need both of them to function,” Porsha wrote.
She reminded her followers, “You are what this movement needs to function at its highest level!”
