OAKLAND — Black female leaders in Oakland gathered Thursday to call for an end to what they called the war on their lives following the grand jury decision on Breonna Taylor’s death.

No officers were charged directly in Taylor’s death in Louisville, Kentucky — sparking protests throughout the nation, including demonstrations in Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose after the Wednesday announcement. Taylor, 26, was unarmed and sleeping in her home when officers came in on a no-knock warrant (not announcing their presence), and fatally shot her in her sleep. One of the three officers was indicted for endangering her neighbors.
