Abstract

This paper explores the historical context and catalysts of the End All No Knocks campaign initiated by Campaign Zero, from the murder of Fred Hampton to the murder of Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid. The discussion will cover the foundational strategies employed by Campaign Zero to rally public support and influence policy changes aimed at abolishing no-knock warrants.
