Monday marks day 54 of protests in Louisville, following the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. One group is taking that protest further with a hunger strike.

They began their strike on a Facebook Live today at noon.

The people who have been out protesting decided they needed to do more. The participants say they want to re-energize the protests but amplify that they’re hungry for justice.

For the past several weeks, around Louisville we’ve all heard these protesters’ voices. As of Monday, they want us to hear their hunger. There’s only one thing that they say will satisfy them.

“We just want justice; however that is going to look and whatever the outcome,” Amira Bryant said. Bryant is one of the four people who have volunteered to go on the hunger strike.

I’m definitely pro-choice when it comes to terrorists and traitors choosing whether or not to eat.

All BLM, NFL, MLB, and leftist Democrats should do this for the good of the world.

Well sure man, but you gotta eat.

30 minutes of fasting each afternoon is not a hunger strike.

Them starving works for me, but what snowflakes mean by “starving” is having a Quarter Pounder instead of a Big Mac.

Lemme guess. It will be one of those four hour hunger strikes in which after four hours, another shift comes on and the first shift goes to get something to eat.

In other words a pretend hunger strike.

Go for it.

More should join you, IMO.

I never could figure out the mentality of threatening to kill yourself off as a means by which to coerce people into doing something you demand. As if anyone actually cares.
