'BreonnaCon' Convention in Louisville, August 22-25

A multi-day community convention with multiple events and community gatherings is currently being hosted in Louisville by national non-profit group Until Freedom.

The group said that the event, starting Saturday, August 22, and running until Tuesday, August 25, will include multiple workshops, empowerment programs, school supply giveaways, and a community BBQ all spreading energy and resources in the community while seeking justice for Breonna Taylor.

More than five months have passed since the shooting death of Breonna Taylor by LMPD narcotics officers, who were serving a warrant in her apartment on March 13.

“BreonnaCon will engage, activate, and transform the Louisville community by building a comprehensive slate of programming that will amplify the urgent need for Justice for Breonna,” Until Freedom Co-Founder Tamika Mallory said. “BreonnaCon will address a number of issues impacting the community including food insecurity.”

The event kicked off with a free farmer’s market located at the Louisville Urban League (Louisville, KY) at 1535 West Broadway.
