On Tuesday, Cordae was one of many protesters who were arrested and charged with felonies for demanding charges be brought against the cops who killed Breonna Taylor. Taylor was shot and killed on March 13 when officers entered her home in search of illegal drugs. The officers claimed that they knocked on the door to announce themselves and they started shooting after they were “immediately met by gunfire” from Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. However, Taylor’s family said in a lawsuit that the cops did not identify themselves, and that Walker — a licensed gun owner — believed someone was trying to break in. Taylor was only 26 years old when she died.Love The Morning Hustle? Get more! Join the The Morning Hustle Newsletter

“We visited the George Floyd Memorial and connected with those who came together to mourn yet another senseless act and life lost without reason,” Osaka explained in an op-ed for Esquire. “Being on the ground in Minneapolis was what felt right at that moment. When I came back to Los Angeles, I signed petitions, I protested, and I donated, like many of us. But I kept asking myself what can I do to make this world a better place for my children? I decided it was time to speak up about systemic racism and police brutality.”
