Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are joining Breonna Taylor's protests for justice today, when it should have been her 27th birthday if had she not been fatally shot by cops in Kentucky.
The famous duo and their kids joined the protest into downtown L.A. to honor Breonna Taylor, who should be celebrating her 27th birthday. After leaving rose bouquets in front of the Hall of Justice, they soon chimed in with hundreds of the Black Lives Matter protest.
Ben Affleck brought his kids Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, Samuel, 8 and some of their friends. Meanwhile Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, 44 and brought Isabella, 13 and Gia, 11, Luciana's daughter Alexia Barroso, 21. They all joined in wearing protective facemasks amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. Ben was casually dressed in a dark gray button-down shirt and khaki style pants, while blonde Samuel rocked a gray t-shirt and shorts. Big sister Violet — who is a spitting image of her mom Jennifer — could be seen trailing behind, opting to wear a cute “Favorite Daughter” crewneck, her trusty glasses and a cropped pair of jeans.
Matt — clad in a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans and sneakers — held onto Gia’s hand with his left hand while holding a bouquet of red roses in his right. The group looked solemn as they paid their respects to Breonna, who was a 26-year-old EMT worker.
Thousands gathered in memory of Breonna Taylor, an African American woman, who was tragically shot by police in Kentucky on Mar. 13. Beyonce shared an image to her Instagram account demanding “justice” for Breonna, along with stars like Cardi B, Karlie Kloss and more. “Happy Birthday #BreonnaTaylor. She looks so pretty and fine in this pic,” Cardi posted. “Her story it’s so sad and unfair and it almost didn’t get picked up by the media. Kentuky police department really tried to sweep her case under the rug, but got is BIG. The fight ain’t over till you get justice,” the rapper added.
Cops entered her Louisville apartment with a “no-knock warrant” as part of a drug investigation using a battering ram to open her door. Police later said her boyfriend Kenneth Walker yelled “who’s there?” several times before arming himself with a gun and firing.
Breonna was pronounced dead on the scene after being shot eight times. The tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna have sparked outrage and protests across the globe as people fight against racial inequality in the Black community.
