180: The Murder of Britney Hardwick - Fighting for Answers and Change

Britney Hardwick was shot in the early morning of Saturday December 12th in the driveway of a home where she knew the occupants. There is more information out there and it needs to come to light.

If you have any information call:
The Cleveland police homicide unit at 216-623-5464

Britney was one of the 1,821 black women and girls killed in 2020.

In 2020, black women had the highest risk of homicide - FOUR time higher than the rates of white and latina women.
ALL of these groups represent a failure in our society - NONE of these women regardless of their race or ethnicity should be victims of violence.
But it is important to highlight the groups who are not only disproportionately affected, but also receive less spotlight on their cases, and unfortunately whose cases are more likely to go unsolved…cases just like Britney’s.
