Hey y’all. Over the past few days, there have been some developments coming out of Louisville regarding Breonna Taylor’s case. Here’s the latest:

In a lawsuit, a grand juror who decided on the case claims Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron misrepresented the deliberations to the public.
As a result, a recording of the grand jury proceedings will be released tomorrow.
Separately, Vice News acquired police body cam footage from the night of the raid that suggests police violated procedures for crime scene integrity and investigation of officer-involved shootings.

DoSomething Members Are Slowing the Spread of COVID-19 and Spreading the Word About No-Sew Masks

They’re looking out for their families, their friends, and their futures.

More DoSomething members with their DIY masks

As the world reaches another deadly milestone in the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of DoSomething members are making their own crucial tools for fighting the virus: face masks.

The CDC has called on Americans to correctly and consistently wear face masks to stop the spread of COVID-19, and with the help of our step-by-step guide, DoSomething members have already made 18,233 DIY masks to help keep their communities safe.

“I had a lot of fun making them and during these difficult times, it brought a spark of joy and a little something to alleviate the boredom of staying quarantined!” says DoSomething member Lena, 14.

“Personally, I find this important because my grandfather has not left the house for 5 months because of this pandemic,” says DoSomething member Katie, 17. “I hope that everyone finds the courage and motivation to find a mask or make a mask, so the spread of COVID-19 stops.”

No sewing skills? No problem. Use our guide to make your own no-sew mask to protect yourself and your loved ones.
