Jennifer's very first tweet went out June 16th, and it was a video of Omar Epps talking about the criminal justice system in America.
She captioned the video, 'Nearly 1 in 4 Black men in America will be locked up at some point in their life.'
'In this short video, @omarepps & @desmondmeade explain how corruption has broken our criminal justice system—& what we can do to fix it.'

Breonna Taylor
In her second and latest tweet, the 29-year-old wrote about the death of Breonna Taylor.
The front line worker was shot dead in the middle of the night by police officers at her home in March.
Jennifer penned, 'For three months since her murder, Breonna Taylor's family, the people of Louisville, Americans across the country, and many around the world have called out for justice.'
She continued, 'And yet, those calls have gone unanswered.'
'No arrests have been made, the officers responsible for her death remain employed by the LMPD, and disturbingly, the LMPD's own investigation report was woefully inaccurate.'
'As a Louisivillian, as a human being, I cannot be silent,' Jennifer added.
She's calling on Attorney General Daniel Cameron, 'to take immediate action to hold those responsible for [Breonna's] death accountable.'
The Red Sparrow star addressed the Attorney General, 'Mr. Cameron, the longer you wait to bring criminal charges against officers Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, and Brett Hankison, the more trust erodes.'
'I urge you to commit to transparency in the investigation and prosecution of these officers, and address the LMPD's insufficient response to Breonna Taylor's murder,'
Jennifer insisted, 'We must not allow the erasure of Black women to continue in America.'
