300+ motorcyclists ride to Louisville to support renaming public area after Breonna Taylor

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Breonna Taylor's death has brought thousands of protesters to downtown Louisville over the past few weeks, with Jefferson Square Park a central hub for the demonstrations.

On Saturday, the roar of hundreds of motorcycles on Jefferson Street signified the arrival of the latest group to come to the park in honor of Taylor.

Over 300 riders, part of the Middle Tennessee Motorcycle Governing Committee, joined up with other bikers from Kentucky and the region as part of the "Pounding 4 Change Breonna Taylor Movement Ride." The charity ride left Nashville at 8 a.m. Saturday and made several stops along the way in Kentucky to gather more riders before arriving in Louisville just after noon.

Vincent "Big Dog" Harris, president of the Selected Few, which is affiliated with the middle Tennesee motorcycle group, said the charity ride raised $1,800, which will go to Taylor's family and support "advocacy efforts" in her case.
