Years have passed since Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville police during a no-knock raid that never should have happened. Breonna, a 26-year-old Black woman and emergency medical worker, was asleep in her home when police burst in unannounced. She never got the chance to ask “who’s there?” before her life was taken.

In the aftermath, Kentucky did what Congress so far has failed to do: act.

Louisville passed Breonna’s Law in 2020, banning no-knock warrants. In 2021, the state legislature—Democrats and Republicans alike—came together to restrict no-knock warrants statewide. And now, U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey, alongside Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Cory Booker, is bringing Kentucky’s leadership to Washington with the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act.

This bill would ban no-knock warrants across the United States, preventing future tragedies like Breonna’s. It’s backed by lawmakers from both parties and supported by Breonna’s mother, Tamika Palmer, who continues to fight for justice in her daughter’s name. As she said: “No-knock warrants are dangerous. They create confusion, escalate fear, and often end in tragedy for civilians and officers.”

If we can come together in Kentucky to protect our communities, then Congress can, too.

We, the people of Kentucky and beyond, call on the U.S. Congress to pass the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act without delay. We also urge Kentucky’s full congressional delegation—including Rep. James Comer, who stood beside Rep. McGarvey at the bill announcement—to publicly support and co-sponsor this bill.

Breonna Taylor should be alive today. Let’s make sure what happened to her never happens again—to anyone.
