Jennifer Lawrence has joined Twitter to call for justice for Breonna Taylor.
The ‘Red Sparrow’ star has urged people to help her raise awareness of the 26-year-old, who was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers in March, and has called for charges to be made against the officers involved.
In an open letter, she wrote: "As a Louisvillian, as a human being, I cannot be silent. I join all those who are speaking out against this grave injustice, calling upon Attorney General Daniel Cameron to take immediate action to hold those responsible for her death accountable … We must not allow the erasure of Black women to continue in America. As many activists and leaders have been imploring for years: #SayHerName. (sic)"
Jennifer joined Twitter through RepresentUs, which describes itself as "bringing together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections".
Meanwhile, Jennifer previously insisted she would never get Twitter.
Speaking in 2014, she said: "I cannot really keep up with emails so the idea of Twitter is so unthinkable to me …
"If you ever see a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that says it’s me, it most certainly is not. The Internet has scorned me so much."
And in 2018, Jennifer admitted she was a "voyeur" on social media.
She said: "I’m on it. But I’m a voyeur: I watch, I don’t speak. There is always so much backlash. So many people are listening and paying attention, and they have so many opinions about absolutely everything. I really don’t want to welcome that unless it’s absolutely necessary. I don’t want to put myself out there for no reason. Unless I’m promoting something or something really burns my onions, you won’t hear from me."
