    Episode 47: Vigil for Breonna Taylor

    On March 13, 2021 we gathered in Cedarburg to celebrate the life of Breonna Taylor and to mourn the tragic circumstances of her death. We recorded these events so that we do not forget #sayhername... Re-sharing post from Brittany Vulich of Break the Silence of Burbs "We prayed, we reflected, we sang, and we took action last night in honor of Breonna Taylor, beloved community member, award-winning EMT, and future nurse...residents from across Ozaukee County signed and sent over 80 letters to their legislators in Madison in support of “Breonna’s Law” is a testament to the resolve to make communities more equitable and just for all. This event was planned with so much heart and intentionality. Thank you, Pastor Alexis Twito and the board of Advent Lutheran Church - Cedarburg for welcoming the community into your space and reaffirming #blacklivesmatter in your practice. Thank you, Aleysha Will, for your leadership and using your creative genius to plan and facilitate this event. And for speaking your truth with us. Thank you, Bianca Shaw, for sharing your gift of story telling and writing, from the standout letter to representatives to your poem for Breonna, you move people and mountains. Speaking of moving people, thank you, Will Toney from NAACP Ozaukee County for lighting up the night with your gift of song so beautifully and graciously once again. You are a star. For your personal testament and powerful closing prayer, thank you, Pastor Pastor Timothy of New Life Church - Grafton. And to Erica, thank you for your time, leadership, and willingness to make sure the work gets done each and every time. This event wouldn’t have been possible without the the groundwork Bridge The Divide has done, so we thank you and appreciate you. To all the community members, organizations, and businesses who turned out in support of this event and who continue to #SayHerName, THANK YOU! Let’s keep our foot on the gas."
